Maccraft123 Panfrost GPU driver for newer MALI devices would be nice for PineBookPro.
Wishlist for NetBSD 10.0
Jay Easy encrypted root install would be a dream!
Snapshot functionality for LVM. I would like to use this in combination with Xen for managing/upgrading VM images.

nia no longer defaulting to TWM
Add ctwm
to it
The wm should be users choice.
nia ksh and csh moved to pkgsrc (this seems like it'd cause a flame war on the mailing lists)
Same as above.
nia I don't care about ZFS (probably controversial, again).

nia kernel bits needed for WINE enabled in GENERIC
I have mixed feelings for this. Would probably compile the kernel without it.
nia make binary packages default in installer more sensible, pkgin + cdn PKG_PATH...

pin I'm happy running firefox, but it would be nice to have it updated in between Q-releases. I know, I can build it from pkgsrc-current, but I'd like to stick to one release.
aaa, I missed this.
There are package updates between Q releases but they come slowly due to the limited number of people doing release engineering (at the moment just two when they have time), and Firefox is a big thing to test. I tend to request pullups for the latest ESR release only because that's what I use. My pullup for 68.2.0 was applied a couple of days ago. Now 68.3.0 is out. Oops.
Just submitted a pullup for 68.3.0

ACPI Suspend/Resume just works completely fine, my Thinkpads X250 (I have one i5 and one i7), until now doesn't.
OpenBSD did a great job with, FreeBSD almost there. But, I don't want to use them, Linux neither.

cleberalves Weirdly, I bought an i5 FHD X250 yesterday and it can suspend just fine.
Have you tried sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3 (I recommend setting a shell alias for this)? Power button to resume.
I'm running 9 RC1, btw.

nia , Hi, nice to learn it. But, It didn't work here, NetBSD 9.99.17 (HEAD), btw. Just boring, but I will not give up, and NetBSD remains.
Waking up is weird but manageable once you get used to it. It'll put you in a different tty to the one you were using, and you need to switch back. I think it only works using the power button on this machine, not sure about other possible combinations.
Support for Electron apps would be very useful. I have experimented with using NetBSD as a desktop daily driver, but lacking support for applications like Atom or VSCode really limits its viability for me.
My wishes have already been delivered!
Rust, virtualization (via NVMM), and ZFS

pin a base system clean-up would be nice, e.g. why twm and ctwm in base? I know they are small, but a wm should be a users choice and one is more than enough. A similar thought goes for the number of shells in base and few other unnecessary things. I always remove /games and ctwm and I keep away from linux-emul.
Maybe something worth adding to the installation guide. Software removal and cleanup commands? I'd love to know what can safely be removed without breaking the base system, and how best to properly clean up the install.
pfr Maybe something worth adding to the installation guide. Software removal and cleanup commands?
Could do ...although, everything will get re-installed when upgrading.
Also, preferences may vary.
pfr what can safely be removed without breaking the base system
What would you like to remove?
games
can for sure be removed. Actually, you can choose not to install the set, if you do a custom install.
To remove games
just,
cd /usr
doas rm -r games/
