+      Abstract storage for memory pages, expected to be slower than

+  <h1>New KMS drivers [3.3-3.10]</h1>
+  <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
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Current X drivers don't work with these, so the kernel drivers
+      are disabled for now

+  <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
+      restrictions when booted in this mode

+  <h1>More support for discard</h1>
+  <ul class="incremental">
+    <li>
+      Flash devices (and thin-provisioned SANs) can be more efficient
+      if the filesystem 'discards' unused disk space
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Requires support in hardware, driver, filesystem and any layered
+      device drivers - e.g. LVM, RAID (added in 3.7)
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Must be explicitly enabled, but d-i doesn't do this by default
