Most of them would actually require plenty work on the rigging side of things that all-round DCC apps like Soft and Maya simply will never accomodate. Some of them are actually already in the current version, IE: multithreaded skinning, smart enough pulls (if you rotate a finger you sure as hell aren't evaluating the spine, and the manipulation speed shows it, in most rigs), and so on.
To me it boils down to "I want things to play at 24fps no matter what", which is what most animators want, and one of the biggest productivity boosters for them. Shame that even when the rigs and lack of heavy env were running at 28 fps people were flipbooking all the time ;) I don't think it's something maya or xsi will ever address, and the character specific packages are either mocap focused, or already dead, when not stillborn.
