Let me make an argument against rpms here.
Ansible doesn't require anything on the local system to run a playbook.
That's one of its virtues.
For a user if we just use a git repo then the user doesn't have to
modify their system in order to use the tools to change their system.
There is a certain amount of elegance in that not to mention just not
being annoying.
