 From the deployment side, I would like to see robust dependency 
mechanisms - for example, in Monticello there is a notion of 
prerequisites (ignore the fact they are changing and the Monticello 
isn't a package manager) that can exist on various repositories. The 
dependency mechanism that G-ran has talked about for the next version 
of SM would ostensibly allow getting the modules to be loaded from 
various places, not only a "central" server. Some sort of fallback 
mechanism for package repositories would be very useful.
