I think this is already strongly deprecated at the pure rpm level. We could add a note on this in the guide, but it shouldn't suggest we really ever had another choice. :) Just as a side note: It's been a debate for several years now that dpkg allows licenses to be displayed in non-batch mode, and that rpm only has batch mode and thus no means for licenses to be displayed. Not that it's actually a drawback. In general most higher level rpm tool assume output on stderr/stdout from rpm packages to be an error and present it that way. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
