Babaco, mostly. The features being made default are the Vector skin
and the enhanced toolbar (including the new dialogs).

The entire toolbar can be customized using site JS. There are examples
at http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolbar_customization ; these
currently don't mention how to add/modify special characters entries,
I'll add examples for that as well.

That's a bug, thanks for reporting it.

Because Opera is broken is subtle ways that make it very difficult to
get S&R to work right. We could either enable a broken version of S&R
in Opera and be yelled at because it corrupts wikitext (very bad) or
disable the feature in Opera (less bad). In the future, S&R should
work in Opera as well.

That's deliberate, the TOC requires the iframe, which was disabled
because of copy-paste issues. We're also not enabling NTOC as a
default feature, so this is irrelevant.

Your list consists of a trivial bug (missing File: prefix), a feature
(protecting Opera users from text corruption) and the disabling of an
unrelated feature that's not slated to go live in April, so I wouldn't
say it's too early.
