This is no critisism I just want to know what exactely you have in mind?
What I would like to see is to break compability by removing fields 
noone really is gonna use.
For example the fonr face or font color dropdown are never used in any 
project we did over the last 3 years.
Maybe cleaning up could be an idea.
Or putting all static templates (the site ones) into an extension and 
not send them out by default.
Cleaning up styles.content.get might be a good idea as well in order to 
get rid of cSet (default).

btw. could anyone explain the difference from "Hide in Menu" Checkbox to 
pagetype "Not in Menu" except for the icon in the BE pagetree.
