What tell the testing ?
9.4 works well without the udev configuration file, and
overall the driver
seems to run much more smoothly.

Wrong., only fglrx should have kept them, not catalyst. We could also assume
users have upgraded since now. Furthermore, according that F-11 users aren't
supposed to upgrade from F-9 (but from a step by F-10), we can even drop it
from F-11 fglrx package.
Okay, that makes sense - provides/obsoletes removed in the
package below.
Okay, so we need to keep it the old way, and to convert eventually
convert it
later (keeping Conflicts for now)
That will be best for now, we can implement the
new scheme for fglrx once the
power management script integration in r-c-d is finished.
