Here's a thought:

How about finally shredding some of the old of the old weight to 
counterbalance? I skimmed through yum commits and there are all sorts of 
workarounds for things that only ever existed in some rpm 4.6-prerelease 
version(s) etc, not to mention all the rpm <= 4.4.x kludges from the more 
ancient past.

With Fedora 12 going EOL shortly, all supported versions of Fedora, RHEL 6 
and recent OpenSuse have rpm >= 4.8.0 with the "refreshed" bindings. I'd 
be happy to help here, including sending patches.
