I've managed to work-around this by putting a hack in our RADIUS dictionary installation workflow to  remove the shipped dictionary.infinera file from the shipped dictionary file, but that seems like a hack at bes. It means that someone from my team has to remember to run that workflow every time a box gets touched by patching automation since an updated FreeRADIUS RPM showing up from RedHat--or soon from your official packages--will overwrite our working copy.

Put your updated copy in raddb/dictionary, but just call it MyInfinera 
or similar so the vendor name doesn't clash.
