For some clarification -- it's not just about Jeff. Open source projects
are about having an active *developer* community around them. And Jeff is
not the only one actually working on that tree. There are lots of other
people providing both minor and major changes. Do keep in mind, that for
quite some time there was no other public project, that actually did
active rpm development. RedHat, considering it's enterprise target, is
quite conservative in this regard. And yes, that's enough for rpm5 to
stay afloat.

As far as I know, the most well known project actually using Jeff's tree
is Mandriva. The second biggest distro would probably be PLD
(www.pld-linux.org). Other then that, there are at least a few other
minor distros + some other projects.
