What, exactly, do you mean?
Transparent upgrades are a serious challenge for all software, not just SlimServer. The more you expect it to remember, the harder it gets. At some point, it becomes impractical.

Seems to me that a reasonable list of things for the SlimServer to remember across upgrades (IMHO) are
1) remember your library directory
2) remember your player names
3) remember choses skin

I personally don't care about plugins, some others may care more. At some point, it may be too hard.

4: Reduced resources footprint.  It's beginning to look pretty fat for
something called "Slim"Server.

Its the server for a SlimDevice, the SqueezeBox.
I don't see any reason to worry about it, an old obsolte PC runs it perfectly. Mine has been up
 13:30:13 up 460 days, 41 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.07, 0.13, 0.09

7: Begin more thoroughly embracing AJAX on the web interface ...

I probably have to add AJAX on the interface to what I do for a living, and I am terrified. Doing it properly for lots of OS and browser combinations looks extremely hard. Just testing all the combinations is going to take many weeks if not many months.

AJAX is cool, but the tools to support it professionally are seriously lacking. IMHO, YMMV, etc.
