I would like to come to a common packaging strategy for both

Specifically the issue I want to address is installing and possibly
running AS 7 and ovirt side-by-side.
Subhendu and Julian put forward Jindrich's proposal of "Dynamic Software
Collections".

Would it make sense to use DSC as a base strategy?
Who sees any obstacles and possible solutions?
To kick off:
- interdepencies of DSCs are yet undefined, thus the whole multi-version
dependency management issue is only lifted to another level
- /opt is off-limits for Fedora. Can we use /usr/share instead?
it is not about /opt, it is about the entire concept of having more than
single version of each afaiu.
spot?
"Not approved for Fedora Packages
Please note that official Fedora packages must not be configured as
Software Collection packages. Fedora does not permit relocatable
packages, packages using hierarchies that conflict or violate the FHS,
or packages storing files in /opt. This documentation is NOT part of the
Fedora Packaging Guidelines, and is only here should you wish to
generate unofficial Software Collections against Fedora in a third-party
repository."
