Would it be possible to add some ability to spawn a popup or something to
notify users about things like impending system shutdown or the like?  We
can add a motd message now which is helpful for certain things but once
the users log in we have no way of notifying them that the system is about
to go down and that they should save their work or risk losing it.

Along the same lines it would be handy to have a lockout feature that
would allow users that were already logged in to finish what they were
doing and log out but wouldn't allow any new logins until the admin
re-enabled logins.  It's not a critical feature but we get a lot of flack
when we have to bring the service down for whatever reason and there are
hundreds or thousands of people still logged in.
