It appears that most of these are features that are 'use as needed.'  In
other words, if I don't need them, I don't need to know about them.  On
the other hand, when moving to 4.0 there were issues with hardware
(specifically PC-cards and sound) that gave me a hard time for quite a
while.  These were less about new features and more about underlying
architecture and stability, and getting new code to work correctly.

Other than devfs (which I haven't investigated yet) it seems most of
these features are extras, not the basics, correct?  Other than SMP, of
course.
