For me, the best things in the package are OpenIPMI,
iscsi-initiator-utils (finally something usable!), and
device-mapper-multipath (thank heavens!).

A word of warning, though. According to the release notes, the
behavior of rpm -U and -F has changed.

----------------------------------------
... <<snip>> ... rpm analyzes both what the package provides and the
package name. This change was made in order to support obsoleting of
packages based on what it provides rather than package names only.

For example, if you have both the kernel and kernel-smp packages
installed and issue the following command:

rpm -F kernel-<version>.rpm

The kernel-smp package will be entirely removed, leaving only an
upgraded kernel package. This is because both packages provide kernel
capabilities and the kernel package is the primary provider of kernel
capabilities because the name of the package is an exact match, which
means that the kernel package obsoletes the kernel-smp package.

Therefore, it is not recommended that users use the -F or -U flag when
upgrading kernels. Use the -i flag instead.
