Fixed In Version: tuned-0.2.19-15.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, certain files from the tuned packages could be incorrectly considered to differ from the RPM database. As a consequence, RPM verification performed by running the "rpm -V tuned" command could fail and it could be indicated that the files were changed despite not being touched by the user. This update excludes several attributes, such as size, md5sum, and mtime, from the verification of the files, and RPM verification no longer fails.

I think there is no regression. It is caused by (non-optimal) design of the RHEL-6 tuned - it updates symlinks during profile change. So probably both versions behaves the same if same profile is selected. We can disable the check for the affected files.

Yes, since the file are supposed to be changed, excluding them from the check would be good idea.
