This still forces me to use special tools like up2date and yum to access the packages if I want to verify their origins.
Is this really all that big of a deal?
Sometimes you don't have it, sometimes they don't work (say I botched python on my system -- "and then?") ;-). I use yum/up2date regularly but I wouldn't want to have artificial barriers for people who for one or the other reason want to or can only install with RPM.
