It's still far too early for a release date to be set. For comparison,
going from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0 took eighteen months or so, and 2.5 has
been going for about five months.

-- Better support for hot pluggable USB devices
-- a different configuration system (possibly including device autodection)
-- the enhanced security work from the NSA
-- better power management (especialy ACPI)
-- better performance, hopefully.
plus any other interesting stuff which gets written in the meantime.
