It was hardmasked because some packages fail to build with rpm-5. And
although currently patches exist I'm not sure if anybody tested/applied
them yet.

It could be SLOTed. But since nobody maintains it it's better to drop it
from the tree with a clear message in ChangeLog why it was dropped.
BTW, thanks for taking care of rpm. Currently I don't use it but I
needed it some years ago and it was very pleasant to have it in the
tree.
