Considering the old method seems to work just fine on FC10, what could I be breaking if I just do that? Do a clean FC10 install, then recover the pertinent files from backup, including that /etc/shadow file which has everyone's current passwords.

Sooner or later, everyone will have their password expire and it becomes a moot point, but till then, can I expect things to run fine?
