I've added a section on new virt features, but also this:

  Changes to System Defaults

  For security and performance reasons, iptables rules are now longer
  applied by default to frames forwarded across linux kernel ethernet
  bridges. See bug #512206 for more details on the rationale behind this
  change.

  Historically, uids and gids 0-100 are reserved for specific system
  accounts and allocated via the uidgid file in the setup package. This
  space has now been exhausted and 0-200 is now reserved. This should
  not be an issue on most systems because dynamically allocated system
  accounts are usually allocated downwards from 499. See bug 515779 and
  bug #511957 for more details.

I'm not sure this is the right place for this stuff? Also, where do I
put them to make sure they get into the final F12 release notes?

Cheers,
Mark.
