Wishful thinking?

We already have salvage drones. They're those things that allows us to transfer cargo over 2500m distance.

They're the ones that coined the term ninja salvagers.

Seems like CCP have played around with the idea of making salvage drones, they just never make it into a release build.

And they ignore drone skills and modules.

I'd say they'd be even more useful to mission running pilots who don't rely on drones for damage.

Like new salvage drones (for about half of the ships, at least). No more space walks (ôdeath marches,ö as the crews used to call them). Now they can send those drones out to fetch the corpses instead of sending my men out there.
You starting a new corpse collection?

Its been stated many times by CCP salvage drones will never happen due to lag substantially increased.
Suggestion Noob buy a marauder 40k tractors range and there cheap now only 500mil approx.

Oh, extra lag. They brought out PI didnt they. I'm sure that causes more lag then a few drones.

Pretty much. The only (as in singular, not as in "inadequate") reason I've heard CCP never added the things is because they couldn't get them to work properly.
The problem is that, unlike ore, salvage doesn't come in neat, easily calculated packages which means that you don't know how much your cargo hold will fill up or when. Combined with the fact that wrecks evaporate when successfully salvaged, you can easily get into a situation where one drone goes out and stars munching away, succeeds and starts heading backà but before it can get to the ship and unload its haul, your hold is filled up by 1e18m¦ of metal scraps that some other drone decided to bring home, and he got there first.
So now your second drone has to destroy his entire load of melted caps and trit bars, because he can't put it back into the wreck (because it's gone), and he couldn't have known this before hand the way a mining drone would because of the randomness of what comes out. The timing of how all these things happen makes it hard to implement any kind of safeguards against this kind of accidental destruction of your coveted valuables.

Or it could just drop it into a new can or the nearest partially full can

You have to see these statements in context - the Salvage Drone Operation skillbook appeared at some point in 2007, lag concerns (and the server internals) might have looked quite different back then.
As to the general possibility of drones causing lag - I think that was one of the reasons behind the drone overhaul in RMR (reducing the max number of drones from 10 to 5, buffing damage output and hitpoints to compensate).
