It feels like plugin integration into the core is nice, then again - it can just stay as plugin (and maybe get bundled into the downloaded file of WP). muti-language integration, on the other hand, is a feature that is essential for WP to grow as a worldwide platform, and is not supported straight of the box - which is a shame. While writing this I have in mind the Hebrew WP branch. that although it is being handled fantastic, is still appart from the main branch - and I should guess other Right-To-Left languages would suffer the same fate from WP. I DO hope this will be ammended before WP 3.0 :) I second that.

In my opinion, security updates should be released separately from new features. For now we'll just have to wait until the list for new features is definitive, but i really do hope that there will be an easy way to disable / remove the functions i don't need. There are 11 proposed new features for 2.7, and i don't need a single one. Maybe it's time to release a Wordpress light version....

Features, once added, are hard to remove. They carry a support burden. Movable dashboard widgets seem like a winner to me. I think the benefits outweigh the costs. I'm not so sure about XML Sitemaps. In my experience, I've found them to be more trouble than they are worth. They take a performance toll on the site when you generate them, and they don't scale well. I also think that they're of most use to sites with poor interlinking. Blogs don't have that problem! WordPress blogs in particular are well interlinked. So the only real benefit you have is the ability to give "weights" and "recrawl" times to crawlers. Again, hasn't really been a problem for me. My posts show up in Google results fewer than 10 minutes after being published, thanks to Ping-O-Matic. And I find it's easier to control weight by telling Google not to index my category, month, year, and day permalink pages. There’s a default argument against adding any feature.

Why <em>wouldn't</em> you want to include something like, for example, native xml sitemaps or movable widgets on the dashboard? Those seem like slam dunks to me.

We got a bunch of people together in IRC, threw out suggestions, and voted on them. Everyone had 10 "+1s" and an unlimited amount of "-1s". On the codex page, the number of "i" characters indicates the finally tally for that feature. So, for example, Subscribe to Comments in core netted only one vote (and it wasn't mine -- I voted against it!). And just because a proposed features has a lot of votes, doesn't mean it'll end up in 2.7. Some things that <em>have</em> already started being worked on are the comments API and automated plugin installation. This is a list of proposed features.
