Three features you would like to see in 3.3.

Just finished updating from 3.1 to 3.2, so as a game, here are the three things I would like to see most in 3.3:
- One click update for phpbb. While the current process is not too complicated, it is cumbersome and takes time with room for mistakes. Really missed my joomla one-click update
- Install/update extension by uploading a single (zip) file / one click update for extensions. I had ~20 extensions and it was a slug to update them all (Disable, delete, upload, enable). That's before Installing new extensions.
- Built-in mentions. I miss this so much in phpbb and as a basic tenet should be in core. The current extension has conflicts with other extensions, which obviously would not happen if it was in core.
One thing I would hate to see in 3.3. is breaking of styles/extensions from 3.2.
So, I don't know if 3.3. is coming but I hope it will come soon even if not everything is ready - unless of course it will not be compatible with current styles/extension, than I will probably ignore it until I have looooonnngg time off.
