Just pulling your chain. This is the first 'wish list' I have seen for a while.
Some time ago, new threads would regularly appear stating what was missing on the Pi, and how great it would be if only it had X, Y and/or Z.
Then the B+ came out and they quietened down for a while.
Then there were a few more murmurs of dissent, until... the Pi 2 came out. And there was much rejoicing.
Unfortunately, asking for more is a pointless exercise, since the Pi designers are actually quite good, and try to make the best design at the chosen price point as they can. We can speculate on the design decisions that were made, but ultimately most people recognise why things are as they are. There are also some things that are obviously not possible with the current SoC, so asking for them is pointless as it's either impossible, or not possible without extra (costly) hardware (and even something costing a penny is expensive).
Finally, for the world at large, the appearance of the Pi 2B was a complete surprise (it was a rather well-kept secret), so even if we
could influence the design of the Pi we could never know when the features we wanted would appear.
But I still want a pony.
