The question still is whether this is actually useful and beneficial.

All the arguments for this move that I have read so far explain benefits related to an image based distribution. I have not seen any advantages of this move for a file based distribution like Server or Workstation.  And when I look at tools like LVM snapshot, I can't see any either. And I couldn’t find something in a short online search. But maybe I missed something? Then I would be grateful for some info/links. 

In the case that there is no benefit for file based distributions, they only suffer the "malefit" of losing FHS compliance and possibly having to adapt administration scripts and routines. Then it would make more sense to move the RPM database only for image based distributions (which has obviously already been done anyway).
