Well the feature writeup is rather fuzzy on this. It says that in
Fedora
24 rpm will be able to read both old and new format, but it also says
that future RPM versions will drop support for the old format. So unless
there is a mandatory data format conversion during some Fedora upgrade,
then at some point RPM will cease to be able to read existing installs
with the old format which could imply a need to reinstall.
Will rpm --rebuilddb convert the database?
