All in the world, or all that have been created for currently installed packages? Is this as bad as rpm packaging where any two different sources are likely to conflict in name and/or contents?
Well we have not had this problem over the years, since most people upstream their policy. Right now if a customer installed a policy file which conflicted with the base policy, it will get overwritten. I guess if they did it will rpm then it would get you an RPM error/warning.
What does 'upstream' mean in the context of packages that aren't included in RHEL base or EPEL? It just seems like a giant list of global variables without any structure or namespace management.
