I've now rebooted to check, and /etc/resolv.conf has again been
overwritten by NM, despite the PEERDNS=no line in the ifcfg file, i.e.
it has reverted to what it was. NM seems to be calling dhclient with its
own private config file, the whereabouts of which are non-obvious.

How does one convince NM not to interfere with resolv.conf?
Don't know for sure how to make interfaces managed by NM
stop doing it, but for my non-NM system I still have to
prevent resolv.conf from being scrogged by setting

in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file.
#MOUNTD_NFS_V1=no

To make an upstart job start at runlevels X and Y, you have to edit

Incorrect, if it is GRUB from F12.
The Fedora devs must have patched grub1. One of the big selling
points of grub2 is that it can boot from an ext4 /boot, as well as
from an lvm or mdraid /boot.

NFS has worked for me without many problems from F10 to F11 but on

fstab may be trying to mount your nfs mounts before the network is up.
If this is the case, adding _netdev to your nfs mounts will solve
your problem.

As of today, specifying udp causes my fileserver to work and the default

The advantage (to me) of specifying udp in this case is obvious: my fileserver
