Happy to share this is implemented! Thank you for your votes and advocacy. From our release notes:
Assignments for individual students or groups
Teachers can now add assignments for a specific student or group of students. Teachers can use this for makeup work, extra credit assignments, group projects, and more! Teachers will need to select the students the assignment should be assigned to when they add a new one. Under Publishing options, they will need to select the Edit icon next to Full Section then select Selected students. They will then see their course roster and can select students from the available list.
Once an assignment is assigned to specific students, it will appear on the Assignment center with # students listed. Teachers can select this to view the students they have selected for the assignment. Teachers can add additional students by editing the assignment. Students will only see these assignments if they are assigned to them.
Agree with the other comments re: personalized learning. I've seen this in other systems, and it should be relatively easy to implement. On the same note, it would be nice if we could publish Topics for individual students as well--thinking of self-paced learning where a student needs to master a unit of study before progressing to the next one.
It would also be great to be able to assign assignments to a small group of students (ie. multiple students within a class) and have these be hidden from other students. It would make differentiation a bit easier to implement.

Yes! Differentiation is a cornerstone of good education. The inability to differentiate in this way is a roadblock to learning.
Agree with all the other comments! Individualized learning is huge for us!

Additionally for Assessments (Discussions, etc.) - This would help so much with personalized learning!
I agree with Jaime's comment of January 18.
