I'm not sure it is either.

The problem is a lot more general than conflicts between minor modes.
There are things also like mouse-2 bindings that only work locally
(either implemented via `keymap' text-properties or by a normal binding
that checks a predicate and delegates to some other command if that
fails) where the various possible "conflicting" bindings can be spread
between minor modes, major modes and global bindings.
