What about rpm -F foo.rpm bar.rpm. If you do that and one or both packages are up to date rpm ignores the up to date pkg(s) and moves on. IMO this is correct behaviour. IOW you can have either behaviour you desire. I think this is how things should be. User selectable. At this point we can argue this until he#$ freezes over.
