I also feel that it is impossible to release on that day because there are only a few days left.
l wish it would be more and more fast becouse many of the servers are still very slow for web 2 sites that own high database running in backround. l dont know how will they manage it but it would be better.
And Tag suggestion from search engines and from social networks would be also usefull,
And One more is Visibility from Search engines also would be great with extra new features like more professional sitemap codes or ext.
I’m always excited by increased performance. Anything that makes my blogs a tad snappier are fine by me.
Syntax highlighting for the theme/plugin editors is pretty awesome too, although I mainly just use TextMate for editing those.
The integration of Simple Pie! It’s a tremendous plugin.
