I believe it has to do with the fact that the "official" or "standard" MIME/type for the RPM extension is "Real Media" something. So at some point it was decided to leave the .rpm files without asociation (an asociation with "Install Packages" would be non-standard, and an asociation with Real Media Player would be a mistake in a rpm-based distribution as FC2)
That can't be right - we should be able to use sniffing anyhow, or at least associate the ".arch.rpm" extension if not plain ".rpm"

The Real Player .rpm MIME Type (according to the RealPlayer mozilla plugin) is: audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin which means it's not "official" or "standard", but is an extension. Additionally, I have *never* seen such a file in the wild, .ra and .ram, yes, but .rpm has always been an application.
