In the RPM case it was for people who download random binary packages from 
upstream sources and attempt to install them.  If the local system doesn't 
support GNU_HASH then it won't work.

I thought it was still possible to build and configure a system w/ no GNU_HASH 
dependencies (or even support).

I know OE itself probably doesn't have this problem, OE-Core certainly 
shouldn't.. but it's external binary package cases that cause problems.
