Just a heads-up: at long last, there's a brand new rpm version (4.4.2.1 
release candidate) coming soon to rawhide near you. It's mostly just 
boring old bugfixes but the total amount of changes since 4.4.2 is such 
that you never know. More details here for those who are interested:

Expect memory use go up, dramatically. That's the price to pay 
for finally "fixing" the multilib %doc etc file removal bug by nuking
the nasty skipDir hack that caused it to begin with. Whether we can 
actually live with the ballooned memory usage, especially in the 
installer, remains to be seen...
