Its been about a week since RFS for features to go into 5.3 has gone out and while there was not a "flood" of ideas there is a substantial list of key changes people would like to go into this release. I've compiled a list of all of the suggestions I've received, they are listed below in a form that will hopefully make it easy for people to vote their yeys and nays.
