Fovean needs to happen. The advantages could be huge.

Firmware V2 is due out in January as far as i know.
True Auto Iso with exposure compensation in manual mode will be awesome for outdoor event photography.

The main thing that excites me is the exposure compensation when using Auto Iso in manual mode, which will be really handy when I'm shooting stuff like Motocross & I want to control the shutter & aperture settings while I'm tracking a bike traveling into shadows.

Yeah I saw that... there's also better support for cameras with variable aperture (will come in useful for my 100-400L). Pretty cool it can compensate for that. Although when you think about it, i'm quite surprised that doesn't happen on the consumer DSLR's as well. Unless it does, and I've just never seen that feature.
PS. Whats with Canon still not offering EOS utility etc on their site for download... only the updaters? It's always so irritating when I occasionally need it, and can't find my disc anywhere... not that it would have helped a whole lot, I needed to install it on my Macbook Air. Found a pretty simple hack for it though... remove one file from the updater and it just runs as the installer.

New firmware released for 1Dx and 5D3. Looks fairly minor but I thought I'd give a heads up.
