+mm ?
+I have not the feeling that it was the subject... i read again... ok
+he seems to have a great +1 to rpm5, but i did not see that he wanted
+insisted or moan in order we use rpm5...
+The mails are hard to read, and long, and very technicals,  but what
+catched my eyes is some things like
+"level of compatibility" between Mageia & rpm5 is far greater than any
+other (with
+other rpm5 based distros being more compatible with Mageia than Mageia
+is with non-rpm5 based distros as well"
+So it doesn't mean we have to move to rpm5 for being compatible with
+rpm5, so where is the problem ?
+
+I just wonder, why having discussions about technical things like
+adults is impossible ? are rpm.org and rpm5 religions ?
+
+So if Per Oyvind offers help, unless there are hidden things i do not
+understand, and if he can improve rpm.org or compatibility stuff or
+whatever, why nobody says "ok, why not, tell us, maybe you could help,
+maybe not" Did not find it (at least in this ML)
+
+Seems it's not the first time, in this mail
+https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110109/002024.html
+he told  "(if interested, I could help assist you on writing something
+equivalent for compatibility wrapping similar to what I did in the
+past with rpm4compat.h & rpm46compat.h to make ie. URPM able to use
+rpm 4.4 & 4.6 api with rpm5, let's say rpm5compat.h or something).
+
+Whatever you end up doing, don't be afraid of asking or trying to
+communicate on, the mutual benefits of collaboration are rather
+obvious. <;o)
+If not, sorry for imposing."
+
+This mail had no answer, so what, is this guy a kind of antichrist of
+rpm , talking with sugar words and trying to backstab you ?
+
+And at least, If the question are asked over and over, why is there so
+few things in archives about it ? Sure every one knows mageia will not
+hurry to go to rpm5 tomorow, and so what ? If some are bored about
+some related questions, why not opening a FAQ that explain it, or that
+just point to the related archive/topic (which could be this one) ?
+
+Sorry but I hate people bashing when i don't understand it. So if
+there are personal anger, try to get over, or explain and communicate
+better.
