I would hope that Microchip would focus on two items:  internal
oscillators and on-chip brownout protection.  I am always having to
add external components to the 12Cxx family for brownout protection.
I am using the 12Cxx parts in a couple of high volume low cost
applications, where every penny counts.  Unfortunately every I/O line
counts, too, and eating up one pin just for brownout protection on a
devbice with 6 I/O is expensive!  Sometimes it is a show-stopper.
