Ability to delete rooms.

A fairly common request is the ability to "delete a room". In practice, this could mean someone with sufficient power marking with room with a tombstone with metadata requesting all participating servers drop the room from their DB. However, this would vandalise everyone else's copy of the room. Perhaps a better bet would be to support room garbage collection, such that if everyone on your local server has hit 'leave' and 'forget' on their copy of the room, the room is actually removed from the server.
