I vote for: - IPv6 and the tools to go with it (Yoshinobu Inoue) - Better laptop (PC card) support, possibly Cardbus (Warner Losh) - Improved soundcard support: right now newpcm is broken in a number of ways (Cameron Grant), possibly new MIDI (Seigo Tanimura) - Reorganised source tree (e.g. filesystems must go into /sys/fs, etc.) Realistically though, IPv6 is the most important issue here; people can continue to use the old pccard system while Warner is working on the new one, and the old sound driver until newpcm is fixed and new MIDI integrated. Anything will go as long as we don't lose any existing features. People tend to get very disappointed when they find that something that used to work with an earlier release has been replaced by something that doesn't (yet).
