Some of these just look rather vague. For example:
   *
     More control over creating/dropping objects and inheritance


If I did not know what the features were, that item would convey nothing 
to me. The fact that you can add/drop the inheritance characteristics of 
a table after its creation isn't something I would just lump under "more 
control" - it's a major new feature that will possibly revolutionize the 
way people use inheritance, especially for partitioning.
