You can keep /etc/security/console.perms.d/50-default.perms from older
pam package releases. pam_console module is still in pam configs so it
will work. I don't think that the module will be removed from the
configs for F8 but for F9 it probably will so you should change your
kernel to support ACLs on tmpfs anyway.

As for the reasons why we cannot keep the old working way:
