rpm could track more than hashes of config files, and instead track the
full file. This could be optional, as it uses more disk space, but disk
space is cheap these days, and config files are relatively small. This
would avoid having to re-download the rpm, and would make it easier to
see what has been modified on their system. So, some users may find that
a worthwhile trade-off

first:  disk space is *not* cheap these days *
second: etckeeper exists
third:  no need to re-invent the wheel

99% of all users don't care and the yone who cares using a VCS for /etc like "etckeeper" while i never ever would use that directly on production servers but on a admin-server pull from the infrastrcuture and fire etckepper there - works like a charme for many year

disk space maybe cheap for some fire-and-forget machines, but not on enterprise storage hosting hundrets of instances
