+  <h1>Linux releases early and often</h1>
+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      Linux is released about 5 times a year (plus stable updates
+      every week or two)
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      For 'wheezy' we chose to freeze with Linux 3.2, which was
+      getting pretty old by the time of release
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Good news: we have lots of new kernel features in testing/unstable
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Bad news: some of them won't really work without new userland

+  <h1>Team device driver [3.3]</h1>
+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      Alternative to the bonding driver - simpler, modular, high-level
+      control deferred to userland
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Basic configuration can be done with <tt>ip</tt>, but it really
+      needs new tools - <tt>teamd</tt>, <tt>teamnl</tt>, etc.

+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      Abstract storage for memory pages, expected to be slower than

+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      DRM/KMS drivers added for old, new and virtual hardware -
+      AST, DisplayLink, Hyper-V, Matrox G200, QEMU Cirrus
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Should be more robust than purely user-mode drivers, and
+      compatible with Secure Boot

+      Current X drivers don't work with these, so the kernel drivers

+  <h1>Module signing [3.7]</h1>
+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      Kernel modules can be signed at build time, and the kernel
+      configured to refuse loading unsigned modules
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Necessary but not sufficient to implement Secure Boot -
+      we would also need signed kernel images and some other
