I've found with Moblin and Sugar that one of the easiest/quickest but probably not the most eloquent way is to do a 'rpm -qa | sort > rpm-out' and then using some horrible diff hacking to get a rough idea of what's changed. I know there's been some expansion of dependencies with the addition of gstreamer-plugins-bad-free and it looks like some other deps in some core things have been pulled in as well. I need to sit down in the next week or two and go through the ones I've noted mentally and follow up with bugs but my real life seems to keep getting in the way.
