I totally get the privacy features of only allowing people on lists whom you follow, but I wish there was a way to have a "low priority follow"?
There's people where you don't want to miss a single toot, and there's people at whose toots you occasionally glance. But it you put those people on a list, they'll also show up in your home stream.
And putting the "important" people in a separate list is less than ideal because lists have rather bad UX right now...
