Replace item 3. with an even better one:
       3. Overwrite /etc/sysconfig/keyboard with following content:
           # This file is obsolete and may be removed, its settings
           # were migrated on <date> by running:
           #     localectl set-x11-keymap....

Thus, making people understand what happened to their old file.
