I think that, unlike other companies, if Apple's software has a huge  
bug in it that they tend to fix that bug in a subsequent version.
(An excellent example to the contrary is Microsoft's Word, which has  
had some of the same huge bugs for several versions now.)

However, many of the new "features" in Lion were not considered to be  
things that needed to be "cleaned up" by Apple.

I can tell you that one of the most complained about new features in  
Lion, the removal of the "Save As" feature from some applications,  
has been partially rectified.  "Save As" will return, but only as a  
keyboard shortcut, not as a menu item.  Sort of a grudging  
consolation from Apple for long-time users who couldn't get used to  
the new Duplicate command.

What else were you thinking of that you feel needed to be "cleaned up?"
