To me it is laughable to expect users to tolerate this. Though you are entitled to have your own opinion. The users can decide on their own now.
Others may come out differently in all good intent; but except for the unresolved subtle RPM exploit path mentioned on a public list (which should properly be resolvable as the SELinux capability extensions are rolled in [which will not happen in fedora-legacy]), a change to rpm-4.2.x is just a "upgrade to the latest and greatest." No thanks.
rpm-4.2.x is NOT what Fedora Legacy is doing.

Also the page states that upgrading RPM is not required to us the "updates" channel.
