[much interesting conversation about rpm clobbering files]
This discussion has turned rather philosophic. I don't mean to
prolong this thread, but...
I can confirm, as earlier posts in this thread mentioned, that
/etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf were replaced, not *.rpmsave'd,
when upgrading a 3.0.3 machine to 4.0. I beleive that these
should have been marked as %config files, and that this behavior
is either a bug in RPM or in the packages.
