Perhaps the change that I'm most excited about is official support for using sdboot instead of grub (something I have been manually configuring for the last 7 years):

Man, I can remember the day grub replaced lilo.

I had just spent the past 2 years mastering lilo and thought on top of the world, and then suddenly this new fangled thing called grub came along with all its weird commands and sytanx.

It's been what, 20 years now? I finally feel comfortable with grub. And now you're telling me there's a new kid on the block? sdboot?

I'm too old to learn another bootloader. Maybe I should go back and dig and old copy of Debian Potato or Woody and stick to that...
