Now that we have HDR inside Lightroom, with virtually no user input, the next step is surely a batch facility for a folder full of bracketed images.
Please!!!!

Give Lr the ability to batch-process
multiple 'bracketed image stacks' simultaneously with 'Merge to HDR'. (eg. useful for
Real-Estate photography)

The irony of this is that creating a queue to sequentially process these couldn't be easier.  It's something programmers do all the time.  Yes, there are things to worry about such as the files could be deleted before they are processed, but that's unlikely and all you have to do is queue up error messages (like it does for export, with the error messages about files not accessible at the end.

There are so many awesome, hard to implement features in Lightroom, take a break and do the easy one!  Give us a HDR processing queue.  It's also a matter of performance!

I know right. There is so much I could rather do while Lightroom is batch processing my HDR files. 20-60 HDR files a day takes alot of effort infront of Lightroom ATM.

PLEASE. Hear our pleads!! Save hours of mindless junk work.

I can do nothing but concur - LR doing everything in parallel is total stupidity, do Adobe really expect people to sit in front of the computer to wait for an op to finish, then manually start the next? We need a batch-queue mode that appends operations and processes them one after the other ... not limited to hdr/pano, but for export, too.

It's working with Keyboard Maestro! Wooohhhuuuhhhh

Pause times depend on computer speed. Such a time saver! This test batch with 40 HDRs went through without any problems.
