I updated one system and switched from the nVidia drivers back to nouveau.  Basically
things run well, that is unless you want to view mp4 videos using things like vlc or
mplayer.  Those packages are available from updates-testing of rpmfusion but when you run
them you get only audio and this error message.

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nouveau.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1

That system is pretty much a test system.  At the moment I've no plans to upgrade my
"work" to F23 unless things get resolved or I decide to go through the exercise of
downgrading Xorg server.
