With `OpenMandriva Lx`_ 4 now in beta it seems that RPM5_ lost all its main users.
CAOS, Ark and Unity are discontinued, Wind River and OpenMandriva switched to RPMv4

Interestingly, it's also the end of urpmi_ with both Mageia and OpenMandriva switching to dnf.

It seems rpm world entered a semi-unified state with dnf and zypper,
both libsolv based and partly interoperable
