This certainly would be very helpful.  We have over 50 distribution  
points. Many of them need very different package lists, but right now
we have to send them all the same set. Being able to pick and choose  
would be helpful.

Do many of you find the new automatic scheduling of package  
replication works well  6.0x ?

I tried it once, but it seemed to be a bit problematic.

There is also a feature where you can click a button to have it  
correct the permissions on any distribution point.
It propagates those permissions down throughout the share point. When  
I tried this it seemed to mess up the permissions on
the share point.  In fact later on after fixing those something  
seemed to mess these permissions up again. Very odd. I haven't
seen anything like that until we move to 6.01 from 5.x

Another issue with the scheduled package replication. I can't seem to  
find any logs about what transpired. Did it sync anything ?
Was it successful ? Were there problems ? There doesn't  seem to be  
any logs about it. There doesn't even seem to be any generic rsync
logs that I can find.
