I'd like to see the package-pool system implemented.

It isn't possible for most of us to support stable and unstable at the same
time.  Perhaps once Debian has enough machines to run build daemons on it
will be possible to autobuild packages for stable.  Right now the best you
can do is run apt-get source <package> (which will become pretty easy once
source dependecies are fully deployed).
