If that is the case (that yum 1.x works around whatever bug is in rpm) then isn't rolling yum 1.x the logical path, rather than issuing non-essential upgrades for rpm? I suppose some people will want to upgrade rpm anyway, and they should have the choice, but this choice should not be mandatory imho.
