Can I insult your mail software instead? ;-)
The only points that sprang to mind were:
- the shmfs. People have been muttering about changing this so the filesystem
does not have to be explicitly mounted; I'm not sure if this is supposed to
land before 2.4 or not. If it is, then maybe you should drop the bit about
having to mount it so it doesn't scare people.
- devfs. The talk about device names changing will scare people. I know you
do mention at the beginning that it's optional, but many people don't read
things very thoroughly (me included). Perhaps you could stress the fact a
bit? Also, it is marked as experimental, which should be mentioned.
- IPv6. It's not new, but it might be worth mentioning that it's still there.
I don't know what changes have been made to IPv6 support during 2.3, though.
