The live images MUST contain the rpm executable because their contents are 
installed to disk (HDD/SSD/whatever) when installing the live image, and at 
that point, rpm is needed to update the system.

There are also use cases where users want to install some package into the 
transient overlay in RAM, or even just run some rpm -q query on the running 
live image.
