It seems like the deltas in each image would start to cause some file
integrity issues with RPM to me.
Unless we’re specifically talking about layering without RPM, in
which case it’s a non-issue.
In Docker, all layers are read-only except for the topmost layer. If
you update or add an RPM and save the result as a new layer, only that
layer will change, and the new rpmdb will be part of it.
