If the problem is connected with the change of checksumming method,
someone's reputation should be harmed.
It's pretty obvious that rpm has to checksum using the old method for a
long time to come- as long as upgrading from the oldest supported EL

I'm with Lennart, I would have been extremely annoyed, and J's attitude
would simply have made me more so.
