I like specific implementation issues too. I would like to see some improvements to the already much improved update/add software system. I would start with 1) highlighting where new software has been installed in the Gnome menu (or KDE) on my Fedora box 2) being able to determine which repository a software package to be added is located 3) be able to add/remove repositories from Pirut and 4) a pipe dream (whatever that is), of having small deltarpms/smartrpms or something new to minimize bandwidth. I have a feeling these issues are already being tackled in some form except for the project of having a modern update system that creates the smallest possible update tailored specifically to every user's machine. That would be an amazing technical achievement.
