Can we make readahead more robust to package updates?

Okay its come to my attention that the readahead configs have a
difficult time being kept in sync as package updates roll out. For fc6
right now for example readahead is out of sync with firefox libraries.

Can we update readahead's implementation so we can get per package
control of the default configs?  Is a readahead.d/ structure
appropriate here?


I want to point out that we lose significant value with read-ahead if
we can't ensure that the listings will be in-sync as package updates
are issued.  And re-spinning readahead updates periodically to attempt
to sync a centralized config file is horrible inefficient and may
never be perfectly in-sync considering the churn of updates during a
release cycle.
