Node permissions is a mystery to most people and most modules will not fit 100% with client requirements. The introduction of this new hook makes fitting existing node access modules like Organic Groups, Simple Access and others much more flexible, and give a very simple methods to solve very complex node access issues with only a surprisingly small number of lines of code.

I'd like to show a module I'm
I'd like to show a module I'm currently working on called MailChimp Campaign. It is a solution that integrates mailchimp (3rd party email marketing service) into a Drupal site for single or recurring campaigns. It's main advantage over modules such as Mailout or SimpleNews, is there is no upper limit to subscriber list sizes.
Difference?
Just curious, how does it differ from http://drupal.org/project/emf or http://drupal.org/project/mailchimp ?

Pretty much no similarity :D
All of the existing email marketing integration modules really only synchronize subscriber lists. This module doesn't handle subscriber lists at all (as mailchimp.module already does this), it is designed to create campaigns from within a Drupal site.
The use-case: Clients for a project I'm working on are projecting having a subscriber list of 10,000+ by the end of the year, and are hoping to send 3 newsletters per day. From previous experience with modules such as simplenews and mailout, they simply can't handle large subscriber lists because they send each email individually through mail(). This method offloads the entire process of sending the campaign to MailChimp.
I've got an issue open here where I'm periodically uploading dev snapshots: http://drupal.org/node/717356
