I agree that this would be a good idea, and probably the original intention.

If it's OK with the CentOS developers to obsolete their package then you
can send a PR to
https://github.com/sclorg-distgit/centos-release-sclo/tree/el6 (the
'el6' branch) to add Obsoletes/Provides. The EVR of the package should
already be higher in preparation.

Indeed, the /SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo page is mostly administrative
with information for members of the SIG, not users.
/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/CollectionsList is the closest we have.

Thanks for your help!
