[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] IDENTITY as header tag extension discussion (#426)

[Jeff Johnson]

Panu pointed out that using the immutable region header instead of the rpmdb header gets rid of all the remapped signature tags and appended tags, thereby shortening the list above considerably.

The logic still needs to become positive/inclusive to ensure the IDENTITY tag set is both well known and closed.

Yes every package provides its own NEVRA. Meanwhile, filtering requires (for a specific NEVR) will be tricky: there are packages with different NEV (by intent) but common R and there's no easy way to identify requires items that need filtering.
