Quite a few here, too. Although not as many as you had;
46 packages removed
46 packages installed (t64 versions of the packages removed)
309 packages upgraded
However..
I have noticed that GTK apps, after 'waking up' computer when screen is
powered off, don't behave nicely(1). I use KDE Plasma for DE, in X.
I'm playing with power saving settings (i.e. turning them off) to work
around the issue (restarting each app does the necessary if that fails),
and will see if things improve over the next few days. Lots of kde & qt
stuff has been upgraded and things may be a little 'off' on my system.
Oh, I did reboot because of the kernel and kde/qt updates.
(1) Buttons don't respond to mouseover events, and the window displays
contents from other apps on different desktops.

That's a good work from the team doing the transition. As always in testing, one must be careful (and I woul stringly advise against auto-upgrades...), but when a little attention and sometimes patience, it works. -- Erwan David

This has been my experience, too.
I will also add my thanks to the many, many, people that make this
possible;
Thank you, one and all.
