Could you give some details on why the rpm.org version is better than
the rpm5.org version? The motivation to move from a 5.x version to
a 4.x version doesn't look immediately obvious, so some more
details would be good to have.
RPM seems like a weird project, it's widely used, but it's very hard to
understand what is the real upstream for it. This fact was even
discussed on LWN recently: https://lwn.net/Articles/196523/.
Thanks,
Thomas
