is there any way to find on the system present but obsolete
config-files automatically
example: "/etc/inittab", present but since F15 ignored
an automatic list would be a good start-point to find changes
and look where are the replacements

Not that I know of. These should be very rare cases. In general
packages obsolete/remove config files that they used to use but no
longer do so.
/etc/inittab is an odd case due to the switchover to systemd, and in
fact should probibly be removed or replaced with a placeholder at some
point.

It is - on my F15 boxes it looks like this:
# inittab is no longer used when using systemd.
#
# ADDING CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
#
# systemd uses 'targets' instead of runlevels. By default, there are two
main targets:
#
# multi-user.target: analogous to runlevel 3
# graphical.target: analogous to runlevel 5
#
# To set a default target, run:
#
# ln -s /lib/systemd/system/<target name>.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target

depends on how old is your setup and if you manully changed anything there
on mine systemd did select runlevel 3 because switched to it for the
yum-upgrade (where the instructions are missing a hint that only
"sync; kill 1; sync; /sbin/reboot -f" will let you restart) and i had to
search why the runlevel is ignored there
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/inittab
# inittab is only used by upstart for the default runlevel.
#
# ADDING OTHER CONFIGURATION HERE WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR SYSTEM.
#
# System initialization is started by /etc/event.d/rcS
#
# Individual runlevels are started by /etc/event.d/rc[0-6]
#
# Ctrl-Alt-Delete is handled by /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete
#
# Terminal gettys (tty[1-6]) are handled by /etc/event.d/tty[1-6] and
# /etc/event.d/serial
#
# For information on how to write upstart event handlers, or how
# upstart works, see init(8), initctl(8), and events(5).
#
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)

Hello,
http://skvidal.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/return-list-of-files-not-owned-by...
might be helpful to identify obsolete config files.
Greetings
