1. Remove register_globals completely 2. Remove magic_quotes_* 3. Add input filter extension which will include a mechanism for application developers to very easily turn it off which would swap the raw GPC arrays back in case the site had it turned on by default. Yes please :-)
That'd remove half my admin headaches from shared boxes.
4. Include an opcode cache by default. A lot of work has gone into pecl/apc recently, but I am not hung up on which one goes in. I'm not sure if it should be turned on by default - maybe ini settable. Personally, I've come up against a number of issues with apc & session support and wouldn't really trust developing in an environment with an opcode cache turned on.
No real opinion on the rest though. Would make sense for any api changes for modules to be pushed through in the same release though as well, as we're going to have to change our modules for unicode support anyway.
