Basically, I think that adding a configurable pull count to sticky pistons would make them a lot more useful and a little easier to use. The idea is simple, if you were to press a certain key (maybe " ; " since I don't think it has any use) on a sticky piston you're facing. A menu would pop-up, This menu would contain the pull count of the sticky piston. By default, the pull count is 1, in other words it can only pull back 1 block. If you change the pull count value to for example 10, the sticky piston will then pull back 10 blocks. The sticky piston should also have a maximum pull count of 10. Simple, and I don't think that it can be used for either griefing or exploits.
