[Bf-taskforce25] Feature Requests for 2.50

Hi,

Yes feature discussions are not really needed here. Too much work todo. 
:)
Quick reply below to relevant issues;

Here we follow design for the render pipeline. Check wiki for 'render 
pipeline'.
Is not related to work on 2.5.

Interesting, could be done. But not 2.5 related.

This is a user preset, check user settings.

Also not 2.5 related, regular development stuff.
