I actually put code behind my words here - rpm-ostree today has
these semantics (a lot like "yum/dnf distro-sync") by default.  This
does also imply that everything else that references a version number
in e.g. %triggerin are buggy.  I looked through most of those a while ago
and found that most of them were workarounds for traditional inplace 
upgrade bugs, which are unneccssary for rpm-ostree.

(Of course it also has fully transactional upgrades, an anti-hysteresis model, etc.)
It's the same old RPMs, interpreted in a new way.  So not a new packaging
system, but it definitely fixes this bug.
