Note:
I want to keep this thread clear and easy to read. If I missed something, please create a new dedicated thread where we will be able to discuss the specific suggestion.

In order to discuss those suggestions that currently have little chances of being integrated or to state your mind about the ones that aren't clear yet, please also create a new thread so it's easier to manage.

Thanks !
