Some things I am not sure about: - for the toolchain, there are both GCC 6.3.0 and GCC 5.4.0 in the source, which one is used for which architecture? Some things that I think should be there: - IPv6 support: since that was the focus of CC, at least mention that nothing was intentionally broken (and maybe there were some improvement?) - support for 3G/4G modem: I think there was some work in this direction - release management: mention that this release should be future-proof, unlike CC which broke kernel dependencies in a minor release. Also, packages will get {bugfix,security} updates throughout the lifetime of the release. I will try to improve these points today of tomorrow. > I have pasted the current text below for your reading pleasure.
