It would be super nice to have feathering options directly inside the Octane light, without the need to add maps.
Maps as in, external (on disk) texture file?
Perhaps, a gradient upgrade more generally?
That (the latter) has been requested historically and is still pertinent to this day although supposedly not the highest priority.
One [upgrade]
specifically for light would be a
bonus since it's currently straightforward to setup once-and-for-all, subsequently saved as a preset, as a single gradient light of some sort or a whole kit with variants (
as shown).
This light setup (link to the page) can be saved as an
ORBX preset in Standalone (equivalent workflow in plugins).
A gradient node overhaul would be usable beyond lighting, and perhaps more beneficial for the larger crowd.

This is unlikely to occur.
Unless it has been not only approved internally but also its development initiated
and available as public alpha or beta testing.
Otherwise the risks are too high
(false promises caused constraining factors, feature creep and more). History has plenty of examples of those; a recent infamous one is from the big Apple.
