I think It could avoid doing that if people didn't mind that it couldn't
be gpg checked.
It may also be possible to compress-and-sign them on the fly. If the
gpg check can be done incrementally, you could compress the rpm to
/dev/null and gradually compute the signature.
That leaves you a signature to check and a ready-to-install rpm you
don't need to uncompress again.
