3 is rumored to have a lot of ideological change, and probably the usual 
GNOME removal of working stuff that people expect to be there (GDM 
config).  It would be very nice to have a tool to switch back and forth 
for experimentation, at least a minimal list of things from each release 
that can be removed via rpm --nodeps prior to reinstalling the other 
release, so that urpmi doesn't try to remove the world to make the change.
