*ahem* deja-dup. If it is not included by default in Fedora 22, then it
is a bug.

Some of them are obsoletes replaced by alternative.
system-config-selinux is renamed policycoreutils. system-config-services
is very much a frontend for systemd. Granted the UX needs overhaul.

Then it is up to KDE team at that point.

I have to disagree. I found the hub-and-spoke more intuitive and logical
than a series of steps. Basic setup from clock, keyboard and network are
done automatically when using a live media. One element that got
Ubiquity beat is the advanced partition setup due to the range from
basic to enterprise needs. Once the partition receive further visual
element, it will be much easier to understand. Currently Anaconda is
receiving visual touch, not sure when the result will come (possibly in
Fedora 23).
