- Long ago there was a plan to convert live-build to python. This was actually started then reverted and never reattempted. Back in 2015 I thought it might be nice to try to get it accomplished, as an exercise to become more familiar with python (which I've not had much opportunity to work with), and considering how brittle shell code can be. I never got anywhere near starting that. Now, it still might be nice, however especially considering all the work above already on my list, and not having unlimited time and resources, I'm doubtful about whether I'd be able to do it. Most significantly though even if I could find the time, I suspect that the team might not have the appetite for this in terms of the effort to review, if they even agreed with it being a nice idea.

- The whole build is done with elevated privileges. Could it not be possible to drop privileges when not needed. I thought a little about this but it might not be at all easy in shell code, and also given directory permissions for instance, it might not be feasible at all. (There is also bug [#788764](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788764) about this topic).

- Consideration of grub-legacy removal. It was a bit broken, with a few fixes now implemented, but I'm largely ignoring it, and is it worth keeping? There's no particular urgency to get rid, just no idea if anyone is using it any more...
