The GNOME 2.0 Desktop release is designed to replace the GNOME 1.x desktop
components. So, even without a namespace conflict, I'd recommend a package
conflict.
The only exception is gnomecc... My biggest disappointment with the 2.0
release is that we haven't provided enough in terms of migration and
compatibility when it comes to configuration of 1.x stuff via 2.x. So, at
least until we get the opportunity to fix that, we'll still need gnomecc
hanging around. :-(

Well, we are just about to release GNOME 1.4.1, developer platform up to
fifth toe, so we're kinda still supporting it. :-)
