Sure, I'll pipe in.

Anything that relies on structs (including forms) being in order will 
break, guaranteed.

Any variables with dots in the names (my.varname) will now create a 
struct and a variable instead of just a variable. This can lead to a 
number of mysterious problems.

Cflocking isn't needed for application/session/etc vars, but it won't 
really hurt your app if you leave them in until you get around to fixing 
them.

CFMX 6.x's cfhttp can't be in a loop. It just can't. Instead, put it in 
a function and loop over that.

Nothing else comes to mind. I haven't had to work with cf5 for a couple 
years now, so my conversion skills are rusty.
