If you install 'yum-utils' then you will find there
'package-cleanup' utility.  The first check is 

    package-cleanup --problems

If none are reported then your installation is self-consistent.
The next one would be 

    package-cleanup --orphans

If you will see some "orphans", i.e. packages not in F11
repositories, then you may remove some or all of them.  Check for
"problems" again once you did that.

Assorted packages in F11 repos can be inherited from F10.  Quite
often there is no need to recompile.
