I find it plain silly to almost always have to execute "foo args &>/dev/null || :" in scriplets, when getting the output of the command as well as knowing if it actually failed or succeeded can be interesting information. If we could have a log file of rpm operations output, it would be really great. *BUT* this does mean breaking backwards compatibility in many cases (i.e. having failing scriplets leave duplicate packages in the rpmdb).
