+I don't really give a damn about which rpm version or not, I'm asking
+for R&D purposes
+and with the idea of it being of interest and use to others.

+With much of work of mine that's already in use wrt. rpm on mageia (be
+it something ported
+from rpm5, written independent of either specific project or not++), I
+don't see why this has to
+be made into another boring discussion about rpm5 vs rpm.org.
+
+The thought was is to attempt some better collaboration, be it around
+just simply exchanging
+ideas or more specific about implementation details.
+
+It's still rpm and it's still of relevance, why make it into something else?
