Yes, also here's hoping these contracts finally bring package management to such a finished state that it no longer acts as a R1 showstopper.
Of course being able to upgrade my Haiku system with a simple shell command or a gui button click will mean a great deal for useability.
I'd love to see R1 released this year, and with that a gradual migration away from Beos r5 backwards compability and all the system cruft baggage that came along with it.

I think they've picked a really nice way to do package management. You can install an application or just run it from anywhere, use a repository or download a package yourself from any site, it has dependency resolution, and different versions of the same package can be installed at once.
I plan on writing more software for Haiku when package management is done.
