This satisfies my needs; a reboot for conversion is not ideal, but not
the end of the world (and understandable, in this case).

There seems to be a great deal of resistance to the RPM changes that
are required, though, both for RHEL and Fedora (at least in their
respective BZ entries); will updated versions of rpm be generally
available in F16 and RHEL6 at the time of F17's release?
