so. Polish it up up a bit.

 - filesystem support
   The loader starts up with mounting a ramdisk on /. Then a devfs is mounted
   on /dev allowing the user (or shell commands) to access devices. Apart from
-  these two filesystems there is currently one filesystem ported: cramfs. One
-  can mount it with the usual mount command.
+  these two filesystems there are a number of different filesystems ported:
+  ext4, efi, efivarfs, ext4, fat, jffs2, NFS, pstore, squashfs, ubifs,
+  u-boot variable FS among others.
 
 - device/driver model
   Devices are no longer described by defines in the config file. Instead
-  there are devices which can be registered in the board .c file or
-  dynamically allocated. Drivers will match upon the devices automatically.
+  devices are registered as they are discovered (e.g. through OpenFirmware
+  device tree traversal or EFI handles) or by board code.
+  Drivers will match upon the devices automatically.
 
 - clocksource support
   Timekeeping has been simplified by the use of the Linux clocksource API.
-  Only one function is needed for a new board, no [gs]et_timer[masked]() or
-  reset_timer[masked]() functions.
+  no [gs]et_timer[masked]() or reset_timer[masked]() functions.
 
 - Kconfig and Kernel build system
   Only targets which are really needed get recompiled. Parallel builds are
   no problem anymore. This also removes the need for many many ifdefs in
   the code.
