This has been one of the biggest criticisms of Dell's IdeaStorm site -
that status updates on progress towards ideas is slow to arrive, and
in most cases the ideas proposed are in fact never implemented. I do
my part to be sure requests in my sphere of influence get heard, and
in some cases can be acted upon. Similar caveats would need to apply
to the Fedora ideabox - ideas are great, especially if they come along
with people to implement them!
