Of note this week the merge of the syscall compatibility layer.
Also more bug reports in bugzilla (http://bugme.odsl.org/),
which probably means more people are testing 2.5 these days.
Full status list is at http://www.kernelnewbies.org/status/
Please let me know if anything is inaccurate or missing.
Cheers,
