+	<para>	  
+	  In order to allow users to monitor the behaviour of their
+	  systems and to improve power consumption in general, several
+	  improvements were done for Fedora 11:
+	  <itemizedlist>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		Provide 2 new systemtap scripts to monitor disk and
+		network activity of running applications
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		Add a workload framework package called BLTK to offer
+		reproducible tests
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		Improved applications to reduce unnecessary disk
+		and/or network activity
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		Enabled several new features to save power:
+		<itemizedlist>
+		  <listitem>
+		    <para>
+		      relatime option for root filesystem / 
+		    </para>
+		  </listitem>
+		  <listitem>
+		    <para>
+		      Automated start/stop of services related to hardware 
+		    </para>
+		  </listitem>
+		  <listitem>
+		    <para>
+		      Enable USB autosuspend for known working devices 
+		    </para>
+		  </listitem>
+		  <listitem>
+		    <para>
+		      Add optional tuned service to dynamically adapt
+		      system settings to the current use 
+		    </para>
+		  </listitem>
+		</itemizedlist>
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	  </itemizedlist>
+	  Users of Fedora 11 should therefore see a reduction in power
+	  usage of their system.

+      <term>mdadm</term>
+      <listitem>
+	<para>	  
+	  <package>mdadm</package> has been updated to 3.0. The
+	  significant change which justifies the new major version
+	  number is that mdadm can now handle metadata updates
+	  entirely in userspace.  This allows mdadm to support
+	  metadata formats that the kernel knows nothing about.
+	</para>
+	<para>
+	  Currently two such metadata formats are supported:
+	  <itemizedlist>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		DDF  - The SNIA standard format
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	    <listitem>
+	      <para>
+		Intel Matrix - The metadata used by recent Intel ICH controlers.
+	      </para>
+	    </listitem>
+	  </itemizedlist>
+	  Also the approach to device names has changed significantly.
