9 IMO these should be fixed before we unmask:
10
11 546742: x11-apps/sessreg-1.1.0 fail to build with gcc5
12 547626: dev-lang/python-3.3 / 3.4 test_faulthandler hangs with GCC 5.1
13 547950: app-shells/zsh-5.0.7-r2 builds but has runtime errors with GCC 5
14 555866: media-libs/phonon-4.8.3-r1[qt5] fails to build with gcc-5
15
16 Just because they're common packages that lots of people will have installed.
17 Also they all have patches.

29 I think we need a news item to remind people they really do have to emerge -e
30 @world after this one or they could have a bad time.
31
32 FWIW I updated one system from 4.9 to 5.2 by rebuilding ~700 packages in random
33 order just to see how bad the ABI breakage would be and only ran into it once.
34 I may have just gotten lucky though.
