that the data is essentially useless in the rpmdb, it's only
relevant during installation, for the (presumably few) people who
actually enable the feature. And of course that extra weight in
every single package is carried around in mirrors and each and every
package download too, again whether you use the feature or not.
It seems like having this in a separate database that is pulled down on
demand would basically solve the problem.
