What is the proper route to take here? sssd-devel isn't really a "devel"
port. It's just the up to date version of sssd. The current sssd port is
very old (like 5 years or more). I would like to just replace it with
the new version but don't want to force an update for anyone who may
rely on it. Should sssd-devel be renamed sssd2 and sssd be renamed sssd1
or some such? What is this POLA that I am possibly violating by the way?

Thanks,
