Ready for new RPM version?

[Panu Matilainen <pmatilai laiskiainen org>]

Are we ready to consider a brand new RPM version for F11, amidst all this
mass-rebuild-for-strong-hash chaos and just days to go to development 
freeze?

We just put out first rpm 4.7.0 beta: 
http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-announce/2009-February/000016.html. 
This is nothing like the 4.4.2.x -> 4.6.0 leap-of-faith upgrade last year 
but it's still non-trivial amount of changes to get the kind of memory use 
and performance improvements that 4.7.0 has, which is why it's not just 
4.6.1.

The wording of Fedora Feature policy pretty explicitly singles out each 
RPM upgrade to be a Feature... I would like to hear a preliminary opinion 
on it: if everybody is going to be an outright "NO!" then I'm not going to 
waste my time with writing up a Feature page. If it's "maybe" or "it 
depends" then ok, will submit as a feature in time for tomorrows FESCo 
meeting.

So, should I bother with a RPM 4.7 feature page or not?
