Not also changing language from shell to python/perl/C, right ? :-)

I second this, that way a not-so-dumb adsl gateway with just dhcp and tftp can 
dispatch debian live to a SOHO. Not a bad feature at all.

I'll prioritize that, for the sake of doing right the first time, or otherwise 
nobody will enable this after the codebase grown a bit far.

Your list is really good, nothing more to add, maybe some GUI to configure/help 
the trickiest runtime features  (like e.g. persistence/snapshots).

I see that the once dreamed feature of really fast boot times using "some 
default common" resume image are now abandoned-ware ;-)
