There are specific bugs in RH8/9 which would be fixed.  But the other
thing is it would make it much easier to maintain RPMS if we all used
the same RPM versions.  So basically this is, IMHO, a "make it easier
to maintain RPMS" for the developer than a "fix bugs the user will see"
kind of thing.  Obviously, in the end, both are important.
