Great list, ependydad. You just reminded me of another "hole in the roof": bath fans. At the top of my suggestions list for maunufacturers is to stop cutting holes in the roof! And make more durable roofing (read no more membranes)! Leaking from the holes made for fans, skylights and the AC cause the whole rig to deteriorate and lose value = very unhappy customers.
To the Manufacturers:
Fans, AC and Windows on the sidewalls are by and far, less likely to cause leaks. As one poster put it: it's not 1966 anymore! The roof doesn't need to withstand atmospheric re-entry at 3 Gs. It just needs to hold up for 15 years. So put that American ingenuity to work and re-design the roofing for more durability then stop cutting holes in it!
