Could have sworn I wrote such a thing in the past ~6 months, but a quick search of my sent mail folder isn't turning it up, so I guess I got nothin'...

Off the cuff real quick though:

- xfs is just fine these days, has been for quite a while now
- the 'network configuration' screen no longer exists (see NetworkManager instead)
- firstboot doesn't ask about firewall or selinux now
- firstboot doesn't offer a display setup screen
- firstboot doesn't have a sound card screen
- yum-updatesd died long ago, packagekit has replaced it
- FreshRPMs merged with RPM Fusion, which isn't really compatible with ATrpms
- the modprobe crap for a soundcard hasn't been needed in years on any of my hw
- you don't need to install ivtv drivers from ATrpms, they're included in the upstream kernel (and thus the Fedora kernel too) going back ages now
- don't install lirc from ATrpms, lirc drivers are included in the Fedora kernel since FC6
- lirc_mceusb2 is no more, it was merged back into lirc_mceusb (though a modalias exists)
- the old ieee1394 stack shouldn't be necessary, the new stack *does* work with mythtv. at least, for some people. :) It should be used in favor of the old, if it works, only try the old if the new doesn't.

That's what I've got from a quick glance through that page. HTH,
