Here's a reasonably complete list:
* Crash bug in Xft (Bugs: Gentoo #85153, fd.o #1958, fd.o #1951)
* Fix major slowdowns because of bogus /usr/share/fonts/fonts circular
symlink, from weird interactions in the migration to /usr functions.
This still needs a little more work, however.
* I'm not sure whether sparc has any issues with lib64 now or in the
future, but that's cleaner on -r2
* GCC-4 compile fixes
* Cleaner use of opengl-update, avoiding a number of problems with stale
symlinks etc
* Less problems with USE=doc build
* The constant errors for the `find` syntax are fixed, in the ebuild and
the xfs init script
* xdm init script cleanly shuts down, instead of erroring out
* fc-cache isn't forced, which allows cleaner unmerges and stops
overwriting other font packages' files
* Hardened builds more consistently because of use of has_hardened
instead of USE flag

Not gonna happen, ever. I'm not interested in dealing with all the crap
that unmasked weekly un-QA'd, untested snapshots will bring.

Yep.
