We need a 5 lite. The specs of the 5 without the massive power draw and heat generation

I want normal USB-C power. I also want USB-C video output, they might need to replace USB-A port with USB-C.

What would be really nice is Zero 3 with 2 USB-C ports and video output. Then have something cheap for projects that was flexible.

Finally, they should replace the header with new extension mechanism. Something that does PCIe, USB, and power. That would allow new extension boards including one that goes GPIO breakout.

At least now they literally cannot pull more power over USB 5V, because they maxed out the spec. It's even slightly beyond it.
