Caution is always advisable, of course.  But could you name one package that is known
to linger or needs to be left untouched?

My fresh install of f17 has no f16 packages.  AFAIK, the only f16 packages that would
be left over after an upgrade would be either one of these conditions...

1.  An f16 package that is no longer part of f17 but not specifically removed by the
upgrade process.

2.  A package supplied in F17 but not changed/recompiled to be known as fc17.

I have only found two...that fit #2....after a cursory look in the repos.

aplus-fsf-KAPL-fonts-4.22.4-21.fc16.noarch.rpm
google-gson-1.7.1-3.fc16.noarch.rpm

Certainly there should be no duplicates as we see in the case of "The Ghost in the
Machine" thread.
