The problem load has been tiny by comparison to 5.1.  The errata are
so far limited to mostly sercurity upgrades, there is an acknowledged 
problem in recompiling kernels on laptops with pcmcia support (but the
distro kernel works well, just lacks APM support).  They're working on
that.  There are some arguements about how the newest version of 
linuxconf works - but overall it seems to work well.

5.1 has a recommended bug fix upgrade set that looks like a new install.
