How about ipsec (ipv6), routing daemons (bgpd, ospfd, dvmrpd, multiple routing tables, ...), 802.1x, acpi, amd64 64 bit memory, ultrasparc III support, 10 gbit ethernet, more arm platforms, shared lib prebinding, opencvs/rcs, openntpd hardware clock support, new wlan driver (rum), better raid configuration, ...?

Of course ultrasparc III support is not complex because of its splendid publicly available documentation (see http://kerneltrap.org/node/568) and the ACPI spec is very short and conatins no unambiguity at all (see http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20051223042014).
