Maybe you could share with us what those things are. If there are really
features in rpm that make life too difficult for other non rpm-based
distributions to support, then a LSB-compliant rpm could support a subset of
the current rpm capabilities. I think this is a much more reasonable solution
then to simply drop rpm and go for a yet-to-be-invented tool.
