I just find it interesting that RedHat is making everyone upgrade to a
new version of RPM when they plan to move to an entirely different
package format in the 8.x series (though maybe I should keep quiet --
that will still be a year and a half or two years in the future, and
there is always the possibility that it just won't happen).  From what I
understand, the new format will be a sort of über-package, which will be
used by pretty much everybody (merging the .deb and .rpm camps..  Dunno
about the Slackwareians, though ;-)
