You seem to assume that the Fedora rpm developers will agree with you and decide to change rpm; that is certainly not a given.
Hm ... so this committee takes it as a given that the maintainer of RPM can arbitrarily reject any committee decision.
That's completely fine with me, because transitive closure implies that I can ignore the committee's decisions for my own packages. I think I will unsubscribe now. Call me when you've grown some backbone.
