Problem is that I see very few additions on the parts
that might interest most hobbyists (like DCL, lexicals
and so on). 3->6 member shadowsets and cluster-over-IP
might not be the first things needed in a hobbyist system.
Maybe TCPIP 5.7 (but I havn't seen the full new feat list).

This is from the short list on the page posted. Of course the
full "New Features" manual whould be interesting, there might
be other things not mentioned.
