I'm not on Lollipop yet.

Is 5.0.1 bug fix? I cannot find a change log yet. I still haven't upgraded my N4 due to battery/WiFi concerns from other users.
I read it on here this morning - http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/12/02/android-5-...And factory images now on here now for 7, 9 and 10 - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

I like 5 on my N4 - seems at least as quick as KitKat - but selecting the notifications on the lock screen don't always result in my being taken directly to the item in question. Facebook seems a particularly bad example.
I'd noticed this too. That said the facebook app has never been wonderful.probedb said:

I'd noticed this too. That said the facebook app has never been wonderful.There just appears to be some disconnect when double-tapping the notifications in the lock-screen. You subsequently sign-in, FB opens, but it opens at the latest news item rather than the item you've just been notified about.

So far, build LRX22C is slated for the the 2013 Nexus 7 (flo), Nexus 9 (volantis), and Nexus 10 (manta). Basically, this update was meant for all of the Wi-Fi devices, sans the 2012 Nexus 7. There also happens to be a new kernel for the Nexus 4 (mako) in the changelog, so we may see it joining the list shortly. The rest of the Nexus family will probably receive 5.0.1 fairly soon, and probably with a different build number.
Device-specific changes were limited to new kernels for the Nexus 4 (f37d460) and 2013 Nexus 7 (f794f52), and a pretty important fix for a bug that was interfering with video playback on the N7 (1ae9de5).
The changelog also points to some other very important changes. There is a fix for a severe issue that could prevent a device from booting after enabling ADB debugging (8de29d6), and another that should help to prevent factory resets resulting from accidental stray touch input while the lock screen is showing(c586786). A less critical change was also made to the handshake procedure with certain Wi-Fi access points (1d13911), and one that fixes a bug where proxy servers may not be persisted across reboots (93edcc1).
There are a total of 21 changes, making this a relatively small update. If you'd like to check out the rest, hit the link below.

Am I alone in asking the following question?
What has Android 5 brought other than
Slowing Nexus 7 down as to be unusable (I have cleared the cache, weekly, performed a factory reset, disabled Google Now, updated all My Apps, not rooted)?
Killed the battery life on my Nexus 5 (not rooted). I have to charge it three times every 24 hours, when I used to get a full days charge and only charge it overnight.
Takes multiple additional steps to get to frequently used settings (ie selecting which wireless network to connect to, selecting which Bluetooth devices to connect to)?
Annoying that to clear your alerts, you have to scroll down to the bottom to select the clear all button?
I would definitely go back to 4.4.4 given the option to roll back.

Yes, this one is particularly annoying. Also, and I know this sounds trivial but is actually really annoying, but on previous versions of Android you swipe right to unlock and you develop Muscle Memory for doing so. Then Google decide to change it to swipe up for Lollipop because... why? Because they are dicking around for the sake of it.
So far on my N7 2012 running Lollipop I have encountered nothing that makes me want to allow it anywhere near my N7 2013 or my new 2nd Gen Moto G (my 1st Gen Moto G has just sold on eBay for £78 - yay)
