I'd like to point out that after many requests, I have updated the change page for this significantly, with more details as to the goals (and non-goals) of this feature, and answers to many other questions asked.
Sorry, but these clarifications only make it even clearer to me that I do not want this.
The size measurements show that the RPMDB increases by 20%, which is a lot.
Quoting size of the RPMDB in isolation is a misleading way to describe the real world disk space impact. The RPMDB is only responsible for a small % of the overall install footprint.
This is clear in the docs which describe how the 20% RPMDB size increase, amounts to a mere 0.3% increase in size of the overall VM disk image.
