Well, the installation routine does not recognise existing encrypted 
partitions; there are missing libraries for non-core packages (i.e. they are 
not available on the install media); the AC97 and emu10k sound configuration 
is variously flaky or non-functional (on various machines which function 
correctly under 10 - 10.3); likewise for the xorg ATI setup. I can give more 
technical detail but would need to gather it from various machines scattered 
around several people, and the info for 11.0 is second hand.

Of course, YMMV
