Some more random thoughts:

o Online mirror daemon (the reason for the dentry overhaul)
o Merging ppp and syncppp, creating modular interface
o SCSI interface overhaul for error handling etc
o ext2: compression, ACL
o POSIX signals
o If POSIX signals not implemented, alternative way for syncing
pthreads (linuxthreads) instead of using SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
o NAT
o General serial/auxilary console interface (ME)
