+Hi,
+
+Please read the archives we already talked about this several times on the ML.
+
+We are using rpm.org for now, and we are happy with this, we are
+already working with rpm.org teams and this works pretty nice.
+
+But you can go and help mandriva as they have several problems with rpm5.
+
+In addition, rpm5 ( i hate this name as this makes think rpm5 is a new
+version of rpm which isn't true ) is just another rpm and i think that
+this is better to stay compatible with the most distributions (
+fedora, opensuse, ... ) instead of using rpm5.
+
+This is just my opinion but i would like to not see rpm5 thread again
+and again, that start for my part to become boring.
+
+regards.
