Yet it's still left incompatible with existing lzma payload support in
OpenSuSE, rpm5 & Mandriva..

Me and pixel has both reported this several times and provided patches to
fix since long time ago, trivial to fix, still no fix happens and
incompatible rpm versions are knowingly released.

One could start wondering if you deliberately try to introduce
incompatibilities, but I'm giving you more credit than that, and I really
prefer to not start making up any paranoid claims, but *PLEASE* get this
fixed _ASAP_ before it gets adopted and "impossible" to fix in any clean
fashion.

Thx.
