Here's a reasonably complete list: * Crash bug in Xft (Bugs: Gentoo #85153, fd.o #1958, fd.o #1951) * Fix major slowdowns because of bogus /usr/share/fonts/fonts circular symlink, from weird interactions in the migration to /usr functions. This still needs a little more work, however. * I'm not sure whether sparc has any issues with lib64 now or in the future, but that's cleaner on -r2 * GCC-4 compile fixes * Cleaner use of opengl-update, avoiding a number of problems with stale symlinks etc * Less problems with USE=doc build * The constant errors for the `find` syntax are fixed, in the ebuild and the xfs init script * xdm init script cleanly shuts down, instead of erroring out * fc-cache isn't forced, which allows cleaner unmerges and stops overwriting other font packages' files * Hardened builds more consistently because of use of has_hardened instead of USE flag > So, unless there is some compelling reason I am unaware of, I'm inclined > never to move 6.8.2-r2 ~sparc-->sparc.

I'm not interested in dealing with all the crap that unmasked weekly un-QA'd, untested snapshots will bring. > Done witfinals yet? :) Yep.
