Yes, we do have plans to replace the current web UI. :) It is an open source app you can follow along with the development on github [0]. And I can't say much myself, but I believe TechCrunch has us quoted as planning to release this in beta in a few months. :)
And actually, we have considered both being able to mass-provision Linodes through the web UI and use SSH keys instead of passwords. But the mass-provision part sort of got swept under the rug for beta.
Then fwiw the API is also being redone with more features and written completely in Python. You can finds docs for that here [1].
You can also sign up for alpha access today and play around with the new API (and free [temporary] Linodes!), as well as set up the manager locally [2].
Work email's in the bio if you need anything else!
