I vehemently disagree with you that deleting RPM databases was a bad thing. You too run a system with no RPM database – all the time, and that thing still calls itself Fedora: a dracut initrd is exactly that: built from RPMs but without any RPM db. Thing is, there are different ways to update stuff. rpm/dnf is one thing, dracut image rebuilds is another, containers are typically updated very differently too. rpm is a useful tool (and by embedding rpm meta info into the ELF objects it becomes even stronger), but your assumption that rpm/dnf based updates is the only right way to upgrade stuff is simply neither reality nor even desirable.
