Hope I'm not pre-empting Seth or anyone here, but I thought it worth pointing out a very interesting blog post on planned future changes to RPM:
http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2009/10/rpm-summit-at-the-opensuse-conference-2009/
it lists several changes that were agreed in principle at a conference between several Novell and Red Hat people. There's some stuff in there which looks like it will likely lead to changes in Fedora packaging policies once it's implemented, so if you want to get ahead of the future it's a useful read =)
Pre-empting me for what? Nothing there is implemented as yet and I suspect it is not going to be implemented tomorrow.
When it is likely to land in rpm it'll come up. Until then it's just potential.
