[Fedora-legacy-list] Force rpm upgrade?

We discussed this earlier during the package naming thread on 
fedora-devel-list, but we should come to an agreement on this now since 
this is one of the many questions we need to decide upon.

Should we force all Fedora Legacy users to upgrade to the latest version 
of RPM for their distribution?

RH7.3 -> rpm-4.0.5
RH8   -> rpm-4.1.1
RH9   -> rpm-4.2.1

Why?
1) Long term supportability.  RH8's rpm-4.1 is completely broken and 
unsupportable.
2) Allows us to use a common package naming scheme with all 
distributions from RH7.3 through FC.
