some examples :

http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8680 "Desktop sharing doesn't work at all"
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8828  "HP deskjet printer spits out a page \
during startup." (all HP printers seems to be  concerned) \
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9181 Scanner only accessible by root  \
http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8200 "Bad mouse cursor makes it difficult \
to navigate in MCC"

These bugs are not necessary blocker, but difficult to say it "'rock-solid'" ...
Maybe it's just "a point of view" but I don't really feel Official release will be \
"particularly solid and problem-free" as mentionned here \
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/pr-releaseprocess.php3. I hope I just focus to much \
onto the bugs I found/know and customers won't share this feeling.
