This provides is correct and may be used by other packages, I see no reason to remove it Old rpm accepts it New rpm accepts it and handles it slightly better I don't really see a reason to forbid installing the package with an old version rpm if it was built with the new rpm given that the produced rpm is exactly the same apart from this added rpmlib(TildeInVersions) fake dependency and it would work perfectly fine without it.
