No, I think you're pretty much right on, but why switch distros? Why not just retrograde back to 7.3, upgrade the kernel to the latest stable, and run up2date? I love KDE so I had a hige problem with what RH did in 8 and thought it was going to be too much work to restore a true KDE environment, so I reinstalled 7.3 last weekend. 7.3 with updated kernels and updated packages is where I'll remain.
