Rpm has had a heuristic on the rpmdb growth for years, but no heuristics

An in-place system upgrade is not an "unexpected event". It is a risky
transaction.
The big space pig is not /var/lib/rpm: it's /var/cache/dnf, which can
be quite flooded by updated packages tool suites such as openoffice
or tetex. Another of my favorites for such in-place upgrades is to
take a package list before hand and delete such bulky suites, to
re-install them after the upgrade is complete.
That's not the issue here. The "unexpected event" is the rpmdb suddenly
taking up multiple GB for an unknown reason.
