I'd like to see OpenId in TYPO3 4.3 - at the Hackontest someone out of
the jury asked "oh, you didn't have OpenId before?". IMO it's an
important improvement for TYPO3.

Changing the perspective, none of the new features not packaged to
system extensions is used by some 80%. Hm...

This is my +1 on testing and shipping it with TYPO3 4.3
