Can you, and WILL you change Resource Stack size (currently set at 100k) to allow for up to a million units to be combined into a single stack, and Crated Components stack size be increased across the board to allow for a minimum of 100 per crate? If so, can we be given a "target" publish/mini-publish date for this? Upon doing this will this then help open the doors to reworking the storage capacities of certain structures?

No, we will not change the resource stack size. It should be mentioned that manufacturing runs of 1000 items happened because of a UI bug early on. The slider only went up to 100 items, but players soon found out they could type in 1000 units on the manufacturing schematic. We haven’t fixed this bug because we know players will consider it a big nerf, so we have hedged against doing this for the time being. There have been discussions and debates (and posts) in the past contrary to this position, but it was ultimately decided that is not going to change. The team will be meeting to see what is possible on the technology side and what is healthy for the game on the design side.

Oh great. He totally sidestepped the BUG where components don't stack, ie the OMUs...I'm disappointed enough that they aren't interested in raising resource stack limits, but at least give us an answer about the component stacking weirdness! This has been around since the launch. Agh.

Please look at my lastest 19 answers thread commentary and provide them feedback. Pawlin is correct. NOT talking about this will let it die.
