Nice page.  Some of the features which are new in 7.0 will certainly
need at least a bit of `love and care', so their release notes are
useful.

Some of these are in the PEBKAC range of problems, though, i.e.:

=>  tmpfs and fstab/fsck errors

    Since tmpfs /tmp is a memory file system, which is created from
    scratch every time, it makes no sense to fsck it on boot.

=>  SCTP depends on IPv6

    This is clearly documented in NOTES.  I don't think it should count
    as a surprising fact.
