John, Looking at the full feature set that UserVoice provides, it almost looks like an insult to suggest this. They look like they could be a BMC competitor in some areas. If only BMC had a great technology to build an interactive RFE process on that works with an existing Release/CM/Incident/Problem/Knowledge system.
Maybe this is like the case of auto mechanics I have known? Some drive junky cars that need attention but their focus is working on other people's cars so their car doesn't get the attention it needs.
