Major Differences from SL6.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenAFS
     OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.10 from openafs.org

xorg-x11-server
     Features a new ABI, this was a security errata so it should be
     available to earlier releases.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE UPGRADE PROBLEMS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Users of proprietary drivers may experience issues with the X server
loading due to changes between Xorg 1.13 and Xorg 1.15.

Users of the 32bit iscsi utilities on x86_64 systems may experience
multilib complaints.  The 32bit iscsi utilities are not provided by
upstream on x86_64 platforms.  We have removed them from 6.6 to follow
their behavior.
