I wish for https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/pull/1493
It will be super useful to make sure parachains don't go to production with bad/dummy weights.
I wish for: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/690
Cross-consensus XCM asset transfers are complicated with currently no way to know/estimate required fees along the path to the final destination.
I wish for: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/issues/3434
XCM delivery fees are currently "magically" subtracted from Origins account outside of XCM execution. The XCM program currently has no control over these transport fees. #3434 attempts to improve/fix that.

I wish for https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/issues/909
It would be super useful for interacting with the runtime (Implement scale in solidity) and for developing precompiles with better types.
