Traditionally yum has used (rpm-header, path) tuple as the "key" for

This sounds great!
What release are you intending this to go into? Just for master, or for
F15 as well?
Both. Like said, these patches alone don't really do anything at all
visibly (unless I've screwed up something), and should actually be safe
all the way to RHEL 5 (but lets leave that aside for now). I do hope to
have the yum bits make it into F15 so we can then flick the switch and
have anaconda magically use much, much less memory.
