Oh, that's excellent news. I know Michael from what little I've worked on 
Synaptic and he's always been very nice to deal with, and has in the past 
shown lots of interest in things apt-rpm does. I'll to talk to him about

repomd, I've seen enough comments like "we should we ditch the lightning 
fast, working format we have now for a bloated, slow-to-parse XML"...
