We may soon be able to do something similar from an end-user perspective (dropping a metadatafile in a directory that's monitored by the system and triggers an install) but that won't be in spite of rpm/yum but thanks to them. There is at least the same gap in underlying infrastructure as there were between true and false transparency in X. Moreover all the closed app vendors that would benefit the most from it went the LSB/Mac way, turned their back on linux packaging principles, and will be quite unable to exploit the system once it's in place.
