Fun times ;-)
There are some interesting change items in the release notes.
Just as a heads up, it's prolly not going to be part of an end-of-year moOde release because of the amount of work for development and testing that will likely be needed to update the package and image build tooling and moOde application code but we should definitely start working with the new OS asap.
Also, it's best to wait a bit to allow the new OS to go through a bug fix cycle or two and some kernel bumps.
