So here is a summary of all the feature requests I have seen until now,
as well as some comments on my part:

* protocol selection (SSL v2/v3/TLS)/Martin Meredith
  good idea - accepted for 2.7

* thread load instrumentation/Leo
  accepted for 2.7

* dynamically growing number of threads/Leo
  I don't really see what do you gain by it. Care to clarify?

* detect -Wno-unused-result support/Joe Gooch
  already done - will be in 2.7a (slipped out of 2.6 by mistake)

* dynamic back-end address (DNS) or change via poundctl/Rob Moore
  we'll need to look at how complex the implementation is
  for regular back-ends probably OK, for SSL may be a little tricky
  probably OK for 2.7

* SSL Ciphers (BEAST)/Joe Gooch
  accepted for 2.7

* Client Renegotiation/Joe Gooch
  accepted for 2.7

* SSLv2 should be disabled by default/Joe Gooch
  superseded by protocol selection
 
* CSRF issue w/ invalid tags/et al in redirects/Joe Gooch
  accepted for 2.7

* config reload/Erik Hensema
  not as easy as it looks - suggestions are welcome

* session cookies by Pound/Francisco Ruiz
  needs more discussion. It would break the proxy transparency

* enhanced alive test: 200/503 reply rather than connect/Francisco Ruiz
  needs more discussion. Can be easily supported now via external
  scripts, so it's not clear we need it

* include file, include dir/Joe Gooch
  include file is already supported
  include dir is dangerous, as the file inclusion order is unpredictable
  - rejected

* ForceHTTP10/ssl unclean shutdown functionality based on user agent/Joe
  Gooch
  needs more analysis, but looks OK
  
* Socket ownership and permissions/Joe Gooch
  accepted for 2.7

* PCRE-based dynamic redirects/Joe Gooch
  needs more analysis

* NoSSL redirect/Joe Gooch
  I think it is (mostly ?) supported by existing redirect mechanism

* back-end clusters/Todd Freeman
  can be done via multiple includes of same file - rejected

Please feel free to comment on the above, or any other features I
missed.
