I'd like to say that there are two things I'd love to see in Nagios more than anything else:

1) Host checks in parallel - which it seems like some people are tackling, if only in their heads

2) Wait for service checks to enter a HARD state before doing the host checks - what's the use of setting a service check to 5 minute retry_intervals if the host check kicks in after the first failed service check?

Other than that, everything else I've said is just a nitpick :)
