3 new features that I wish were in OpenNMS 2.0

As a long time OpenNMS user I've been often impressed with its extensibility and the completeness of its feature set. There is support for lots of data collection techniques: from the old school snmp exec extensions, to the http poller, from the JDBC poller to the XML poller and many others  that I probably forgot to mention. Supporting new probes is therefore just a matter of how,  not  if  , it can be done. And with new monitoring tools popping up every day this is clearly good as it allows OpenNMS to keep up with the competition. So the present looks bright, but what about the future? With OpenNMS 2.0 not yet on the radar I thought I could put together a list of features I would love to have. What do you think of them?
