I don't know about raids, but I do know they already removed CDs for job swapping within sanctuaries.

This has been asked several times before, was asked in one of the live letters and did get a response that they're looking into it to be sure first that there's nothing exploitable about allowing it and whether it's feasible to do it. I don't remember exactly where so no link but that's all they said.
Yeah I support this. SMN's Enkindle and WHM's Benediction took 6 minutes to cooldown and what if "oh shit" moment happen when this skill still cooldown? :(
"Please look forward to it".

I support this. Nothing like someone going ld @ pull and then you have to wait 3 mins for cd's. It will chew up raid time like its going out of style if you are trying to learn a fight.
While I agree with this, I find it a little funny that everyone is talking about "Crazy long cooldowns that take FOREVER!!" when I've gotten used to 10 minute, 20 minute, 30 minute, and even 2 Hour cooldowns from various other MMOs, and I think the longest in this game is like 6 minutes.
Well, it did add up though those cool down. It eat up the food duration time too~
In the MMOs that had 10min-24 hr cool downs (Everquest comes to mind. Lay Hands / Harm Touch on PLD/SHD!) - it wasn't that pig of deal to start a pull in a raid without them because there were so many people involved. In FFXIV, if 30% of your DPS is going to be losing 10% of their DPS, its kind of a big deal in the tight DPS checks during progression, especially on hard enrage timers.
