No, Lyvim. For everyone else on this list, this is a simple practical matter of what is the best way for rpmdrake to function. No-one on this list, to the best of my knowledge, being an automaton, we all inevitably have different ideas on this topic. It's just *you* who seems to want to turn it into a Biblical struggle.
