Hello.
Out of curiosity, I have done some quick statistics.
I have posted 30 ideas in "Ideation" (nee
feature requests) over the last years, not counting those trashed by CA when they went from the old PMPR-style system to the "Ideation".
My "idea" has on average nine votes, which is not all that bad, considering there are a few new ones and only a fraction of people ever find the "ideation", which Broadcom seemingly does not do much to encourage. Several ideas have 40+ votes on them.
16 of my "ideas" are still in state "New" or "Submitted", which means nobody from Broadcom has actively processed them; the oldest of those going back to 2018-05.
That would be okay, but at the same time, 13 of my ideas are in "review" for years. Many in fact since 04-13-2018; which is a
fake date that was set during a migration when the
actual date of entry was ruefully discarded (which, as a possibly unintended side effect, makes this look better on Broadcom than it actually is).
Only
ONE idea has
ever been processed. That one has been brushed off with a response that doesn't reflect realities. Not now, and arguably not at the time it was issued.
I frankly feel like, also with some recent events, our relation to Broadcom is deteriorating more and more, so I am going to say this without mincing words:
You can
not smack your customers any more in the face, metaphorically speaking, than this. Even though the thread title is a question, I do not expect an answer. This
literally says to me: we don't care.
It has been clearly evident for some time that unlike the early Automic, both Broadcom, and CA before only care about developing
marketable features, not the features that those customers ask for who have already invested in the product. But I guess I was at least hoping we'd hold up the
pretense of caring for feature requests. Alas, that has failed also :(
Best regards.
