IMO, it's never OK w/o first examining the effects. The rpmnew is
provided specifically because replacing the previous one may be highly
destructive to the aims of that system's users/admins.
I've not looked, but I suspect the rpmnew needs to be compared to the
target of the symlink. I just finished watching some threads where some
add on packages provided symlinks inside other package directories in
order to provide the support needed with minimal disruption to the
original package.
