On our server the block was solved at 14:00:48.479Z, only 39 milliseconds later than yours.
The actual solve bitcoind
confirmation time on the pool was:

What kano posted was when his pool saw the block which was before yours.
Yeah there's random delays with data crossing the GFW
I get the impression f2pool doesn't use the relay network either
So when pools outside china see blocks found inside china (inside the GFW) is often slower.
I've also run testing on that with antpool and mining to antpool regularly sees blocks as much as 10 seconds sooner at the miner than the network, so I'm also not sure if there are other pool coded factors in that ...
This will become more apparent as block size increases.
Though, even though the blocks mined have been showing around 60% support for BIP100 for a while now - there's still no sign of the
bitcoin devs doing anything about it ... as I've said for a while the bitcoind devs really don't give a crap about mining or the opinion of miners 
... they all have their own agendas.Preach Kano
I understand exactly what you mean. I read so much about it I became nauseous.
Anyone who isn't familiar with some of your biggest bitcoin programming staff deposited under one company name...
Google blockstream and compare the employee list to the bitcoin programmers.
More than a couple, and it is a free country, but then listen and read what the conversations are when you can find them. The mailing list is the best place to start. Read from about June of this year forward, and then go back as far as you can and begin reading forward.
Extremely interesting.
Long reads, yes, but worth it for the history learned, mistakes saved, and future choices you may not be aware even exist.
On another note, I see a couple of mentions regarding custom bitcoinDs.
Doesn't this break us away from the programming team and more towards a pool operator / owner?
Some things are difficult to regulate and depend on the decisions of people. We will have fewer of those things in life as time goes on. For now you may still catch the occasional stack of newspapers where you drop your money in a can, pickup a rock, get your paper and go on, run a used tire shop for cash, sell T-shirts at concerts, or any sorts of things where there is a gray area. A place where decisions made by the management and ownership determine if it is a benefit to the community.
Outside looking in at a situation you wouldn't say a business is great just because it makes money. It must also have benefits for a (the) community who helps to make it successful. If you discovered the people running the show at that company were doing shady things to give themselves an advantage would that be ok as long as they were making good profits? Things that have byproducts like hurting their competition who do things correctly to help everyone to make more profit. Using the size of their company to leverage themselves in an even better position to tackle more situations to leverage their position.
What if you were making money based on their profits? Is it a little more OK then? Or, with the above scenario did you already assume you were in a position to be making profits while reading the question?
My main question was this:
I'm wondering if I could hear some follow up to custom bitcoinds'?
Specifically, if you guys were to make your own custom bitcoinD with that vein of feature-set, what would they be and why?
If everything is too much too list, please venture a guess at the more controversial ideas.
Well, but one caveat... For example, Kano and / or CK reply to this then they should use a mindset with a priority of being selfish and making changes benefitting them personally first.
How far is such a list from one which would better the entire bitcoin community, or at a minimum, the mining community?
More on topic in general I suppose is I am getting closer to putting one or more dedicated miners on this solo pool or selling them. I think the price drop pushes me to selling them but I am trying to justify half and half.
In a wishing world I would earn twice as much as needed so I could place half here, hah!
I must need to work harder! Giddyup.
