Hopefully, we can move to having Browser be a separately-installable app, like Gmail, Maps, YouTube, etc. I would love to have it updated as often as Chrome is on the desktop, and independently of the OS version.

Yeah, it would be a huge win for security as well. Users will not be at the mercy of their hardware vendor to provide an n-1 OS update that may or may not address all security issues.

Also, as petegrif mentioned below if this means Android browser getting NaCl and extensions support - that would open up lot of new possibilities.
