A lot of "Elephants" were brought up in this. I'll just cover one: 7. Politics - A more systematic and thorough acknowledgment that organizational politics play a big role. Agile accepts that there are politics and does acknowledge this. Agile can't fix politics any more than it can fix needing locks on doors. But, it does make it a lot harder to play politics by requiring a lot of transparency in the process and requiring people involved to play very specific and well defined "roles" just to name two. With Agile, organization politics do come to light a lot faster. In my opinion this is good. Agile does not, nor should it try to, fix the problems brought to light.
