well, maybe stupid ideas, but they're which supported on other unix like system(s) or it would be very nice according to my experiences:
* bind mount support for all general mount options (nodev,ro,noexec etc) with SECURE implementation with any (maybe even future) filesystems? * union mount (possible with option to declare on what fs a new file should be created: on fixed ones, random algorithm, on fs with the largest free space available etc ...) * guaranteed i/o bandwidth allocation? * netfilter's ability to do tricks which OpenBSD can do now with its packet filter * ENBD support in official kernel with enterprise-class 'through the network' volume management * more and more tunable kernel parameters to be able to have some user space program which can 'tune' the system for the current load,usage,etc of the server ("selftune") * more configuration options to be able to use Linux at the low end as well (current kernels are too complex, too huge and sometimes contains too many unwanted features for a simple system, though for most times it is enough but can be even better) * maybe some 'official in the kernel' general framework to implement virtual machines without the need to load third party kernel modeles from vmware, plex86 etc ...
