Having a version in the package name should be used only in case of different parallel-installable major versions of the same software.
How often would you like to support parallel installation before a subsequent major version will become generally available?
Why would we want to support parallel installation of something that isn't available? I don't understand the question.
It would be nice if packages were named consistently across RPM-based distributions, but what's your point?
How do you think about possible consequences around a package name like “libXss1”? https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/libXScrnSaver/...
Again, I don't get your point at all. libXScrnSaver is packaged in Fedora already.
PS. Obviously, English isn't your primary language and there's a communication barrier here, because I don't understand what you're trying to say at all. Please try to be clearer, maybe by phrasing your questions in a different way. Alternatively, you can come talk to us on IRC. Real-time communications usually yield better results.
