If the problem is connected with the change of checksumming method, 
someone's reputation should be harmed.

It's pretty obvious that rpm has to checksum using the old method for a 
long time to come- as long as upgrading from the oldest supported EL 
(and maybe oldest-1) to the latest is supported.

I'm with Lennart, I would have been extremely annoyed, and J's attitude 
would simply have made me more so.
