Loaded 3.16...WOW
Summary: the only things I would add to a bug list so far, if someone is compiling it, are the unfriendly ROM loader, and the DNS servers were set to all zeroes.
As detailed below I am not seeing a lot of the issues that were reported in this thread on my device.
Details: I have not put it through its paces yet, but first indications are great. I hope loading could be made more user-friendly; after it loaded the new BL it required me to unplug the device and remove/replace the battery. After it resumed I went to eat dinner, and when I came back it was done, so I don't know if it paused at any point after that. Since I was testing the Sprint ROM, I let all the customizations load.
I went in to Phone>Menu>Options>Services>Internet and started IOTA manually, then I had to fix the MSID and MDN. I left SCI at the default of 2, and the True MCC and True IMSI were different but I left them to see what that would do. I have not noticed any effect.
Sync thru WMDC on Vista seems blazingly fast after using it on the 2 series ROMs, but is probably actually the same speed as I used to get on my xv6600 and Activesync on Win XP. And the Mogul no longer seizes up during sync; I could actually use it at the same time it was syncing.
GPS - I did not touch the External GPS settings, after all I was testing internal GPS, and iGuidance 3.0.1 popped to my location about 10 seconds after I set it to Com4 and 9600 baud. Latitude and longitude were rock solid, but my altitude was varying from about -50 feet to about 30 feet. I was indoors and locked onto 4 satellites.
Turned the device off (sleep mode) and dialed it from a landline, it woke up and rang on the second ring heard on the landline, despite the fact that I left SCI at the default of 2.
I set up my gmail account, works properly.
I had some problems locating websites, so I setup the DNS servers (it was all zeroes) and the problem went away.
The best download speed I could get on DSLReports Mobile Speed Test was 640 kb. That test does not indicate upload speed. I did not tether.
Sprite Backup works properly, though I have not tried a Restore yet.
The Mogul boots up quickly from a soft reset, and locks on to EVDO signal immediately.
So far I am VERY happy with the ROM.
