A little observation I haven't seen so far. (But I can have missed it
in the long thread, sorry if so.):
It will matter that "rhnumber" < "number" only for systems from FC1
and on. And those systems come rpm > 4.2. Systems with rpm < 4.1
should never have to see the packages without rh.
So it ought to work out right in practice. It's still kludgy, though.
