Here's the list I've put together from what some folks have posted. This
is not necessarily complete but it is the set of things which I find
particular interesting:

- use tolerant config option to step around problem pkgs in a
transaction
- gpg/cert/sig check on repomd.xml
- client-side ssl certs for repos
   - docs for this
- switch from cvs to $SCM (git, hg)
- more generic rpm/transaction callback interface
  - not at the cli level.
- pattern= in install(), update(), remove()
- per-item pre and post transaction plugin hooks
- transaction event database? - as a plugin?
- recursive/unused dep-removal in yum
- merge in some commonly-used plugins
   - protectbase?
   - installonlyn?
   - priorities?
   - fastestmirors?
   - allowdowngrade?
   - changelog?
   - tsflags?
- yum list vendors
