I think another valuable line of responses would be suggestions for
improving the reliability and/or reparability of the XO. These nuggets of
info often come from repair centers by observing problems which occur
frequently or parts that are difficult to access and/or repair or which fail
frequently.

For example, my first suggestion for future XO laptops would be to make the
keyboard easier to replace. A component which seems to have the most
failures requires the most disassembly of the computer.

Most modern laptops make it easy to remove the keyboard assembly for
replacement.
