The primary issue I'm aware of, and I'll mention it specifically because
I'm responsible for it, is that we made a last minute change to the device
driver ABI for network device drivers.  When you do the update, make sure
that all modules are rebuilt -- especially if you're using a third party
of ports-built network device driver module.
