This is personal, but I would love to see UML support as a default with an easy way to create the UML's. It's been a while since I looked at it, mostly due to lack of time, but I think UML would be an awesome way for me to build/test updates. =) Currently everything I do is build in chroot, being able to do it all in UML would be awesome. So, for myself, I would really really like to see this. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
