 > Now's the time to do it if you're going to. Can you please say a few
 words about the risks and rewards?

 The risk, as always, is that one of the fixes/improvements broke something
 that used to work.  That's hard to quantify.

 The rewards are:
 a) fixes for a suite of stuff that is known to be broken in q2e12, notably
 this ticket (7572), and also #6967 (develop.sig on external device), #7702
 (SD card hang), #7725 (SD), #7774 (USB failure), #7867 (setenv problem),
 #7880 (NAND partitions)
 b) Inclusion of the latest (believed to be fully working) XP boot support
 c) Fix for a problem that prevented entering OFW (for diag purposes) from
 the Linux kernel
 d) Some mostly-minor new features
 e) A solid base for moving forward, so we don't have to keep cherrypicking
