<sarcasm>oh yeah "ss" is a pretty clear and self explaining command</sarcasm>

if people would develop SMART repalcements they would call the
binaries identical with compatible command line switches so a
"Obsoletes: whatever" would not change the USER INTERFACES

fine, you can add addtionoal command line options, you can even
add new specialized binaries in the same package but say
"command A with other options" replaces "well known B" is
pretty dumb at all
