Another big one would be handling major OS upgrades more cleanly. I think
the two issues are that MacPorts detects certain configurations upon
install and generally all ports need to be rebuilt. Making MacPorts detect
the OS upgrade, re-detecting and reconfiguring as necessary, and then
handling the rebuild would solve a lot. Plus, it'd be nice if the buildbot
was setup on the new OS prior to release. It's a pain that MacPorts doesn't
support the latest OS until a few days / weeks after it's out.
