Second on the repository for temporarily removed widgets, maybe something like the recently removed plug-in section?
It would also be nice to be able to name a text widget without putting a title on it in the sidebar. For identification purposes.

I'll second that and add my own little request. Could you consider
bringing back or recreating a "repository" for active widgets that have
to be temporarily removed from a sidebar. This is especially important
when considering text widgets. Currently, if for any reason, a user
needs to temporarily remove a text widget or widgets from their
sidebar(s) then the text/html within that widget ceases to exist and the
the text widget has to be rewritten from scratch before it can be put
back and this is a major inconvenience. For example, it's quite often
that a text widget that has html or script written to it that links to
some social service, Flickr image (among others) or news gadget has to
be removed temporarily if the respective service goes down (which can
stop their site from fully loading). Pre WP 2.5 you had a area to place
these widgets that were temporarily removed and they would keep their
format and now, of course, we don't.
Respectfully submitted.
