red hat (RHEL) is a supported product dedicated to Enterprise. It have
to work "out of the box". So, I don't know if it's the wrong thing to
do
for RHEL.
Given the quality of some of the "enterprise" third-party rpms out there
you certainly do not want to lighten install-time checks.
They're already doing unholy ops that may hose your system, when this
change reaches RHEL I predict a whole world of broken installs RH
support will have to rescue.
