Great, thanks. Most critical HDFS features that have JIRAs against them get reviewed, in my experience, but they just take time. Symlinks ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-245) and appends are two examples that come to mind.
Gathering up public opinion about the importance of various features should help us lobby for resources for them to get fixed. I've started dumping a few at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2926.
