anaconda has been writing to vconsole.conf for some time now - at least

commit 4b98eab34f310c2704ec24b417bdf919c413fa1d
Author: Vratislav Podzimek <vpodzime@xxxxxxxxxx>

Work with VConsole keymap and X layouts separately
...
Resolves: rhbz#853877
Resolves: rhbz#856362
Resolves: rhbz#859867
In fact we've always had problems with X and console keymaps; there's a
longstanding bug about the encrypted partition case:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743281
It's a rather complex area. I don't have a 100% grasp on it, but I
_think_ F18 actually behaves rather _better_ than previous releases at
this point.
I think Marcela's mail is slightly misleading. The 'new' locations for
these files have existed and systemd has been using them for some time.
The commit Marcela linked provided RPM scripts that automatically
migrate to the new locations; it doesn't actually introduce the new
locations.
