Have you ever designed an SSIS package and wished that you had easier layout tools? Ever wanted the snap-to guides that allow you to position tasks/components in such a way that they align with existing tasks/components on the design surface?

Here’s what I’m referring to (note the blue dashed line on the left):

SSIS – Feature Request: Option to mark connection managers read-only

Today I had a situation come up that prompted a SQL Server Connect feature request submission for SSIS: add the ability to mark a connection manager object as read-only. In doing so, the connection manager would not show in dataflow destinations, it would throw a warning if added to an OLE DB Command component, would error in package validation if used in a destination (which could happen post-development via config files), etc…

What do you think? Is this something you could see value in having implemented?
