Removing old programs can be painful too. I was really annoyed to find 
nenscript replaced with enscript. There IS a difference, and the 
difference in favour of nenscript is important to me.

So I had to dig out an rpm of nenscript and install that; in doing so, I 
removed enscript.

Any incompatible upgrades are going to annoy and waste time of a lot of 
users.

Consider what happened when the Coca Cola Company upgraded its 
best-selling beverage, and learn from that company's experience.
