Big improvements with 2.0.36:

Identify total amount of RAM - gets rid of all the 'why does it say 16MB when
I have 32MB?' questions.

Better AIC7xxx support - in particular, the latest Dell servers can't boot
from a vanilla 2.0.35.

TI ThunderLAN non-experimental (as shipped with Compaq DeskPros).

Downsides:

Large ISDN layer changes, maybe requiring new tools.

Bigger syscall table (does this change libc?).

No info on stability yet, but 2.0.36 went through 22 -pre versions.

I'd certainly find it more convenient to have 2.0.36 on the boot disks,
because building customised boot disks for our Dells is a pain.
