VS SDK V3 Starts Today

We begin version 3 of the VS SDK supporting VS 2005 today!  Over the last few weeks after releasing V2 of the VS SDK, the VS SDK team has been planning the V3 release.  I've posted a list below of all the things we wanted to investigate for possible inclusion in the V3 release.  All of the features have costs (implementation, documentation, testing, etc) and it comes down to priority and available resources if a feature makes it into the SDK. 

We'd love your feedback on our plans.  If you see something that doesn't make sense to you, please let us know.  The priority listed below is the planning priority (how important it was to plan the feature or infrastructure improvement), not the delivery priority (how important it is to deliver a feature or infrastructure improvement).  When the delivery priority has been determined (always subject to change, of course), we'll let you know.
