I think both this forum and the UserVoice forum (perhaps more so the UserVoice forum as it can more accurately record the interest in a particular request) could be considered feedback, and as far as I can tell, are considered when planning features for future releases. However, folks from TheBrain have openly stated that they don't discuss features being considered for future releases until they are imminent (as in a very closely upcoming beta). There are good reasons for this, both from a competitive standpoint and a user expectation standpoint which have been discussed elsewhere. This is the general stance of most medium-to-large software companies, and is not unusual (although it may be unpopular from the forum members point of view). This thread could be considered a feature request, and the maturity of the discussion or validity of the request non-withstanding, may not be commented on because of the future feature standpoint. I don't really think it's a skeptical standpoint, just one with reasonable expectations given the market and other software forums. Anyway, I don't mean to detract from the validity of the request, or the discussion, just adding my 2 cents on the expectation for comments on feature requests by TheBrain employees based on previous trends in the forum and my own experience in the software industry. / thread hijack.
