Thermal Throttling in the official client would come handy.
You can use 'tthrottle' to do this for BOINC.
BOINC Development bounties
IMO It'd be great if we could allocate bounties to BOINC github issues/projects, say a couple hundred dollars worth of GRC (depending on severity/importance of the dev item), it'd require escrow of some sort and for the devs to be aware of GRC & accept it for completing dev work - it'd likely need David Anderson's blessing too.
