>Is there any alternative technology to do the same thing?

This is how we do it for now. If there's something simpler in the future, we'll consider it.

>In the end, it doesn't matter to me if I can't put my wishes in the wishlist - because I can get them direct to MS anyway bypassing UT.

Yes, but this is not what the community and MS wants. By doing that, you're hidding your wish list, no one can comment/rate on it and no being there, could cause potential duplicates. So, at the end, more work for us and MS.
