We acknowledge the need for some changes in Software Management stack in

rpm): what are the changes that you would like to see in the foreseeable
future (say 2-3 years) and why would you like to see them (what would they
help you with)?

Thanks for taking on this effort. What I would like to see is solid git integration. Git has become the standard distributed vcs and github and google code etc have stopped hosting tarballs and/or discouraging it and GNOME is planning to do that as well. If Source URL could point directly to a git url with a hash or git tag, we would benefit.

Also, if would could make it easy to easier to do things like updating the icon cache etc only once per transaction instead of per package would help with the speed of the initial Fedora installation or any large updates
