It would be nice to be able to move the faces of a mesh along their 
normals, i.e. a mesh of a torus with inner radius 1 and outer radius 2 
would transform into a mesh of a torus with, say, inner radius 0.5 and 
outer radius 2.5 or a mesh of a torus with inner radius 1.25 and outer 
radius 1.75...similar to the extrude face feature but scaling the face 
as it moves along its normal.

.... or Silo, for that matter.
But I agree with Tim, that it would be nice to have that in Moray.
