hmm you piqued my curiosity:

from the roadmap (not necessarily implemented i guess), with my comments:

1.4.0 Release 
move to LFS (Linux from Scratch)    good move, previously deadreat
Support for Fritz!Card PCI 2.0   ?
Wondershaper for Traffic Shaping    ? sounds interesting
Speedtouch PPPoE support         good
Show dynamic DHCP leases on dhcp page         useful
Support for selfhost.de on dynamic DNS page               useful for
someone i guess
Additional foreign languages [snip] well i don't care, but good to see
NTP time server                              good
Add ability to backup system settings over the network      excellent
BLUE interface for Wireless connectivity       WONDERFUL
SCSI device support                           useful addition i guess
New GUI                                remains to be seen
Enhancements to DHCP and Host editing                       good
Enhancements to log viewing, including sorting in reverse order                    good
VPN enhancements     can only be good!
