1. obsolete does not work when you're rpm -i'ing pkgs. Only rpm -U
2. modifying the rpmdb from a %post or %pre is an unsafe idea and prone to
causing things to "end badly".
It depends. If Jeff tell it is possible to have an "RPM bundle" (e.g. an rpm that install rpm(s) itself) then perhaps
it is not so unsafe in first place. I personally have written un rpm that use yum for pull update.
