I think the list will change a bit at least - for example the PolygonBuilder and DonutBuilder are combined in the AreaBuilder - so we'll see what makes the final list. I'd certainly like to see the 2dPointReplacer and Sorter added.
But actually the list is from a scan of all our pro services team workspaces, so I guess we don't use TopologyBuilder that much here: we only work with clients who have nice looking data to start with ;-) I did start an fmepedia page on how to combine transformers to get certain effects - see http://www.fmepedia.com/index.php/Category:What_do_you_want_to_transform_today%3F ...when I get more time hopefully I'll be able to go into more detail on some of them.
