Will test at home tonight.
What tell the testing ?
structure so we could create/destroy these files using r-c-d... I
will try to
continue working on this soon, and if it works then the need for files like
udev
creation and other power management files shoudn't be the priority for
now.

If we get rid of these, then FreshRPM users who install RPM Fusion
will have no
upgrade path... If we no longer wish to support this upgrade path on new
branches (ie, F-11), I'm OK with that but I think that we need to keep it for
F-9/F-10.
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.
> So to sum-up , I expect this package to be introduced in
F-10/F-11 (F-9?).
F-10 and F-11 right away (will migrate from old to new scheme eventually), and
F-9 afterwards (but kept at the old scheme).

+1 - this is partially my fault, I don't have much time... I'm finishing the
semester mid-may, at that point I'll have much more time to finish the last
bits of r-c-d.
Okay, so we need to keep it the old way, and to convert eventually
convert it
later (keeping Conflicts for now)
I'm still testing the new scheme on Rawhide with nvidia.
