The thing I found most interesting was the possible connection between the Raiders/Centurions situation and the Seven/Five situation.
Perhaps the original programmers that Cavill referred to dumbed down the Seven, just as he attempted to do with the Raiders, so they couldn't think about the Final Five. Equally, maybe someone out there in the universe flipped a switch, just like the Six did for the Centurions, and gave the Final Five their self-awareness.
I doubt Six's new regime will last long. The Colonials used Cylons to fight their battles for them, and it didn't take long for the Cylons to rebel. Now that these Centurions have higher brain functioning, perhaps they'll realise that they've been used as disposable cannon fodder for the last several years and turn on their masters.
All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.... :-)
As for the Cylon numbering scheme, this episode finally answered it all. As far as I can make out:
Of course there's a number seven missing, but I think that's probably due to the fact that back when the whole Cylon number thing began, the writers may not have thought up the concept of the seperate five Cylons.
As for wanting to see more of Leoben, I sort of suspect we will. Logically, the Leoben-Six-Sharon's would box their enemies, so perhaps it'll be a while (if at all) that we see Cavill, Simon and Doral again.

1 - Cavill
2 - Leoben
3 - D'Anna
4 - Simon
5 - Doral
6 - Six/Gina/Shelley etc.
8 - Sharon
