The problem always was that there was no RPM, and in discussions with Martin I took away that there was some pressure/history for not adding new stuff like cpio and rpm into the loader environment. That was obviously our first discussion - just shove in those utilities and be done - but there has to be some upper size limit on what can go in and I'm curious if folks are now quite willing to pull these things in. I really feel Martin's pain as I've recently been looking at RPM format stuff for another project, and I did wind up having cpio and rpm around after I did the bare minimum of poking inside the RPM directly.
