I don't know about all of the questions but there were specific ones I've
personally been following about the sign-up/sign-in process (simplified as
noted in the blog post).  We're also aware of some CI cases that we've
looked into.  I expect we'll have a blog post or video about best practices
on how to automate registration and de-registration as well as automated
clean-up of registered systems that are now gone.  Another big one is
entitlement enforcement (IE: in the old world when you hit your 16 server
limit, you're prevented from attaching new systems.  It is universally
hated.).  We've got some changes coming there to address general quality of
life issues like that.
