Well, as per Jack's edited first post seems the Ideas exchange is now archived. 

What a shame, it was at least good to have some visibility to the Feedback, rather than the blackhole of the in-app feedback.  Now it really feels like everyone's time has been wasted on the Ideas Exchange. 

In 18 months or so of the Ideas Exchange they successfully marked one item as "Delivered" and that was to make the Ideas Exchange more visible.

I wonder if we'll still see any of the things they marked as Approved, such as Sales Orders, or if they'll just fiddle about breaking things that are working quite fine and that no-one asked for.

Part of me wonders if Jack is/was trying his best but is fighting a losing battle internally at Intuit...if so, thanks for trying!
