The stabilization work has begun. One item of interest this week
is the update to the new framebuffer/console API.
Full list is available at http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/
Also, with more people testing different configurations, the
number of bugs in bugzilla has increased quite a big since last
week. 80 and counting.
Cheers,
