What is cpanel/fantastico/plesk missing?

Just wondering what you guys and gals think cpanel and plesk are missing.

Here are some of the things I would love to see in cpanel (cpanel):

- In file manager when editting sourcecode of a page you can see line numbers.
- In file manager when editting (x)html you can switch from code view to design view to see if your edits are going well
- You can create new users with limited permissions to access your cpanel safely without being able to do harm but able to view some things (whatever you allow in settings)
- file manager would be cool with an advanced search possbility. Find files containing eg: include_once, find files that have been uploaded or modified between certain dates, search files only with this extention etc...
- turn your website offline/online (eg. when you are upgrading something or whatever). People can't access any pages whatsoever besides the index page with notice why site is offline.
- dead link scanner (check if your site links to any pages that don't exist)
- pr check scanner (show pr's of all pages and allow user to sort by page name, pr etc...)
- automatic backup system that emails or uploads to external ftp you daily with all backups (or only files + sql queries that have been modified within the past day).
- message system to show if you have any unpaid bills, planned downtime (PM type system between admin and user)
- Login logs. Email website admin if someone suspicious tries to access your cpanel and show details.
- IP location system

In fantastico:
- Install script (eg. Wordpress) using existing database on your computer (db with wordpress posts - eg. if you want to move your blog)
- Instead of fantastico making a new db+user automatically, allow user to also have the option to select an already existing database + user or give a name personally + user + pass for the installation
- when upgrading, automatically back everything up before doing the upgrade allowing the user to restore it if upgrade goes wrong.
- subdomain possibility

Have some more ideas but these are just a few of them. What would you like to see in cpanel/fantastico/plesk?
