 USERLAND CHANGES:
 
+The default binary type (and compiler toolchain) has been
+switched from a.out to ELF.  This gives us access to much
+newer compiler technology (much of which didn't support a.out),
+allows for smaller executables and provides much better
+support for languages like C++, among many other advantages.
+Older a.out libraries and binaries will, of course, continue to work
+and provisions have been made for having both varieties installed if
+and as necessary for transitional purposes.
+
+Perl4 has now been replaced by Perl5 as a standard part of the
+system.
+
 The default username length has increased to 16 characters.
 Caution:  Old utmp/wtmp files will NOT work with this change since
 the data records will be of the old size.  For a conversion utility
