Heh, I think you should go for it and update RPM to 4.7.0. We really should
try to improve rpm's/yum's performance as much as possible (although, there
will always be some lag, because of python interpretation, but it is quite
small and barely noticeable most of the time) and it looks like RPM 4.7.0
doesn't break compatibility with the old package format even though it
finally does support LZMA based RPM packages. And it is definitely good to
hear that LiveUpgrade still works. I use LiveUpgrade for my testing VMs
because its a pain to run the ISO or the DVD for upgrading on those,
especially since it isn't nearly as critical as real machines.
