+</I>The proposal included a recommendation for this, having the package
+scripts do the equivalent of an &quot;rpmnew&quot;/&quot;rpmold&quot;, but with
+package-specific names. Note that in a rollback, any changes made to
+the newer file would be lost, but that's unavoidable in any case since
+they may not be supported by the old format.
+
+Fortunately, the number of packages that do this reformatting is
+relatively small, and some of them (like NetBeans) create the newer
+versions in new-release-specific subdirectories, leaving the old ones
+intact.
