Seamonkey is the new mozilla, which both obsoletes the old mozilla packages, and provides mozilla = 37:1.8.

Yes, I understand that part. I was more expressing surprise that there isn't some OTHER mechanism from the upstream by which to force mozilla to be replaced with seamonkey.

yum --obsoletes update

that should do-the-right-thing. The issue is that yum will only list for update, a newer E-V-R for a package with the same name only. but using the --obsoletes flag, gets yum checking for packages that might obsolete something already installed, and considering them for updates as well.
