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/.
