Yes, I've seen those already.

My understanding was that they speak only to naming withing the home:<user>:etc. \
hierarchy, but do NOT address namespacing of parallel pkg installs. Perhaps I need to \
re-read @ those links ...

Eg, sticking with my current test case, distribution installs

pkg == openssl

that gets installed into system-specified, standard locations.

I can certainly build & install an unpackaged openssl instance into any non-system \
location, external to the rpm build system, with no ill effects.  I do this \
regularly.

However, If I intend to build/pkg my own instance of openssl.rpm -- with NON SYSTEM \
install location (e.g., /opt/ssl) I don't think it's wise to name the pkg openssl.  

Many repos -- including maintenance and update -- of course provide alternate \
installs for pkgs -- but the majority provide pkg.rpms that override/overwrite the \
current pkg's system-install.  You don't end up with a 2-instance, parallel install.

My consideration of the separate pkg namespace is for the specific case of multiple \
instances.  Probably also need to think about the "Provides:" names as well.

Understood.
