It's well known that the piston BUD is useful; automatic farms, day night detectors, weather detectors, player detectors and so much more. However they are ****ing incredibly annoying as well. Talk to someone who has been affected by this, they'll either say: "It's useful and it should be kept in" or "Get rid of it, it's more annoying than helpful".
There is a middle ground, however, I propose we make a block which is a BUD. A block which detects block updates. This will have an input on one side depending on which way you are facing; and the output on the opposite side.
Secondly, the redstone wire BUD, this is also annoying as people who use the 15 wire limit to separate signals cannot do that because redstone does not update properly. This is, in my books a bug and is required to be fixed. The redstone should update everytime a new power source is applied to it; rather than only updating if a redstone wire next to it is updated.
Thirdly, powered rail should update when power is applied above them; I think this is being fixed in the pre-release though. So, detector rails should not keep power when being moved by pistons as well as power pistons when being moved by them. This helps us create stable clocks without the use of repeaters or torches.
KEEP water based BUDS; it helps make nice water structures. Anyway, as an added bonus, I think we should be able to attach torches to the bottom of blocks as well as redstone torches. This helps us with downwards vertical transmission.
How could something as tick-based as a BUD be explained in the Minecraft world, you ask?
Crafting together a wooden pressure plate, a stick, and a block of some sort (probably something cheap like cobble). Bam, a simple seismograph.

That could work, but I was thinking something a bit more expensive to make.
