There were at least two issues[2][3] reported that indicated rpm4 support was incomplete, though I believe they were mostly related to Smart's interactions with RPM 4 rather than any issue in RPM 4 itself. It's also worth pointing out that we're strongly considering dropping SMART in the next (2.3) development cycle[4]. Do you have a reason for wanting rpm4 beyond the proven Python3 support?
