OK nice option, because what happens when you realize your new rpm does not 
work as expected and u wanna revert back to older version, but the mirrors do 
not have it anymore, or it is a very big package long to download.

what is lacking (for the next version) is a mean to revert back to the N-1 
version when something when wrong with the new one.

In IBM AIX  the package installer has 2 options :
- just apply to the system and save old files somewhere to be able to revert 
to saved version (with reject option)
- commit an applied version (erasing the old saved ones)

surely needs an rpm patch... for mandrake 10 maybe :))
