I think most of us would appreciate if you could file bug reports,
or (even better) propose patches; the hope is certainly that more
people start looking into compatibility of 2.5 after the first
alpha is released. I would personally expect that the best feedback
comes from people maintaining a large Python package or application,
such as Twisted.

Each of the incompatibilities might include tricky issues, where
we have to find out whether Python is wrong for changing it, or
the application is wrong for expecting things to behave exactly
this way (or nobody is wrong, if this was an intentional breakage).
