Still on my wish list...
12-port DIN PIPS, the new hardware with -48 support would be great
Something I really want is a telemetry card for the RackInjector. Couple
relays (could even be n/c only), a shunt input or two, a voltage monitor
or two, and 3 or 4 switch inputs.
4, 5 or even 6ch PDU card w/ -48 support for the RackInjector would also
be nice, and might make sense for it to have its own master input?

Actually good timing on this question....
Yes, there are plans. Let me explain:
In the rackinjector, both the cambium sync and the polarity agnostic
cards will pass through -48VDC just fine, and the 450i/450m's are fine
with -48V. This would permit you to skip having a big DC-DC converter
to power these radios from a -48VDC source. However, the existing
(shipping in the past) control electronics in the rackinjector needs
positive power, so you need to put at least a small DC-DC converter in
place to power the control electronics from a positive source. Our
intent has always been to resolve this shortcoming at some point when
we figure out a reasonable solution.
When we looked at rolling back the cambium sync technology into the
din rail form factor, we decided that we really wanted to build an
injector which didn't rely on positive power - so it could be powered
from either positive or negative 48 with no requirement of a positive
source. So we went to work figuring out how to do this. Which we
have now done.
As of now, the rackinjector has a new version of the control board
which doesn't require a positive power source. For 450i/450m radios,
feed it positive or negative, it's fine, and will power on. This
applies to any control boards which have not yet shipped (we've got
about a 1-2 week out of stock situation right now while we wait for
the first batch of the new ones, all of the 'requires positive power'
boards have been shipped).
Now that is (almost) shipping, I'll be rolling the cambium sync
technology back into the rackmount form factor, along with the
technology which allows powering from either negative or positive
power. This shouldn't be that long - probably 30-60 days, but
definitely before the fall wispa show.

The Rackmount is too big to fit in certain places.
