Why? AFAIU, it can handle the old format happily too. Just use the new
compression whenever the package is rebuilt for whatever *other* reason.
When there are no more "old" packages around, drop the old format for
good. Rawhide churn is large enough as it is.
Because I'm fairly sure that changing the compression format is another
one of those "can't read newly built RPM with older versions of RPM"
problems...
