Well, I must have missed something. I thought that the Merge Utility disappeared in JAWS V: 17, and that this was the reason for having users store their JAWS settings in the cloud. Are you saying that forcing JAWS users to switch to cloud-storage, of their settings, does not happen with V: 17?
If so, there is, as you say, a year to get FS to change this/bring back the Merge Utility in future! I know that this is not exactly what you meant; but, it gives me some hope. Although I will continue to encourage people to complain about this change, I will be on the alert for more news.

Given that whatever they are talking about is a year away I would say wait and see what they are actually talking about before getting worked up about it.
