Great job, all of you! Transition from 4.7 was glitchless and smooth. There's lots of things that work better, most noticeably the ability of DRI to stay alive if I start X more than once between boots (using ATI Rage 128 RF AGP with the r128 driver). Couldn't do that with 4.7 - it was good for one X session per identity, then I had to reboot. That's basically it; wanted to write and let y'all know that your hard work is well appreciated on this end.
