I run into one (minor) issue when doing that.  Namely both rpm
and yum "think" that netpbm and netpbm-progs as supplied by F8 are
"older" than equivalents from FC6.  One needs to replace them
later with 'rpm --oldpackage ....'.

I believe that the same will happen if you will start with F7 but
I did not checked that yet.  Just remember to run
'package-cleanup --orphans' afterwards and remove strays.
