 Again with the "one distro." retoric? Let me rephrase what Seth said:

. All of the contributors to createrepo are using rpm and not rpm5.

. Most of them (at least) want nothing to do with rpm5, and will never
use it for any reason.

. rpm and rpm5 have _already_ diverged enough that supporting both would
need constant attention.

...if you've made a choice to use rpm5 then you have to live with all
the problems that brings, or reverse your mistake.
 It's not our job to do lots of extra work to fix your mistakes ... that
is not, and has never been, the definition of community.
