The quality of backlinks amongst some of the newly ranking sites is disappointing; I realize the attempt is to discount sidebar/footer style links, especially of a more temporal nature, but at the expense of contextual and language relevancy? A few simple filter tweaks and the makeup of the SERPS will vastly improve; I'm sort of expecting them to do it by Memorial Day, but have no way to back up why I think that.

That's an interesting observation on sidebar /footer links. I too agree that Google is tweaking it, many are already seeing changes back and forth
