I was there when we didn't have htop, and since it's included I find great value in it.
Here (locally) I have great fans of moon-buggy (young ones) and each time we do a fresh install the query ends in sore frowns?
Thanks for the info, but as far as 'requests for current' go it's probably best to wait for an actual release rather than just an RC.
Having said that, the next set of stable point releases don't look far off:

A kernel with a patch which fixes the Elan touchpad problem like described here. I have to recompile now each time there is a new kernel to get this to work:

It might be better to fix this upstream. Try to find the developers of the driver you are having problems with and explain your problem and solution to them. That way when they fix it in the kernel, everyone with this touchpad will benefit.
The UDEV run during the initrd phase of boot is throwing out a "/sbin/crda: not found" error on my box.
Either crda and its support files need adding to the initrd-tree or '85-regulatory.rules' needs adding to the $LIBUDEV_BLACKLIST in mkinitrd to prevent this error from showing itself.
I don't know when the contents of the initrd was last reviewed, but there's lots of other udev rules that get copied to the initrd that probably don't need to be there in order for it to mount the rootfs, for example: pulseaudio.rules? Granted, they seem mostly harmless, but perhaps worth reviewing all the same.

Asynchronous rendering of the Flash plugins is now enabled by default. This should improve performance and reduce crashes for sites that use the Flash plugin. (Bug 1307108)
I suggest to ship from the blackbox source tarball data/README.style in the docs as it convey handy information not found in the man page, as e.g. a simple way to set a background. README.menu could be added also but it's less necessary.
Caveat emptor: I didn't check -current about that. If that's done already please disregad this request and sorry for the noise.
