ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages

Initial Thoughts on Modern Pages -- honestly, they're not that far from prime time and more flexible, as far as content (embed and highlighted content add a great deal of flexibility) than I imagined.  The biggest issue for me/us is simply this

• The biggest issue, and it's brought on by the lack of branding capabilities (which I know is coming in the future), is the need to be able to change the background like Delve.  I'm sure it's coming, but giving us the ability to add some visual variety between different sites and pages is huge.  We'd get over lack of branding options with that simple addition.
• SEARCH?  Search IS in the new modern pages for groups so why not in modern teamsite pages yet?  Consistency is vital.
• Activity feed should have the option to scroll horizontally with arrows.  Show 3 or 4, then move one way or another to see more.  Give the option of showing only a specific amount on top of that.
• Any thought to giving us a second column to work with?  A right column we can pin content to?  I suppose that hinders the slide panel and responsiveness.
• Can't hide "Pages" in the quick launch?  
• Global navigation is coming I'm sure, but if it takes a while, give us the ability to add a web part to the TOP of the page.  I've never understood why team sites don't, at the very least, give us the option to use managed metadata for global nav as an option. Why should I need publishing on to get a global nav?

Again, that simple addition of being able to add an image to the header would be a big step to easing the lack of branding and customization options as we wait for more robust customization options.  Still, very impressive start here.  Looking forward to more!
