We tried that for the last couple of years. Ice was self promoting and self evolving entity that seemed to be a splinter in the Autodesk's eye. I think Ice was the most amazing feature that was developed within the Main Three and yet they still marketed the viewcube and viewport 2 to simplify the comparison. I don't thing there is any chance of communication parallel (can I say that?) between Autodesk and the community. They killed it and now they only keep kicking the corpse while everybody watches.
I will stay with SI for as long as I can. I will use Maya, learn C4D and Houdini (modo I know a bit already), but I say, let move on. I don't want fake promises just to be disappointed again. You wanna talk to someone who listens (The Foundry, SideFX).
