Reddit could really do with a NNTP gateway. It's basically a centralised usenet with voties anyway.

Sure, you'd probably lose the option to vote on posts, but for the subreddits I frequent I don't really care.

It would also let users use a client of their choosing and never having to worry about ghastly site updates again.

Maybe I'll eventually get around to it, but for now old.reddit will have to do.
