 * Great work, great performance, great plugin.
    BUT: Too many updates, and still
   no ability to export settings. I am not sure if this is a PRO feature, or if 
   this is part of iControlWP. I can understand that, you need to sell the product.
   But I think there are a lot of people like me who maintain a large number of 
   sites, and still wish to do things manually (believing that it is quite impossible
   to maintain a central administration for WP – not your plugin’s fault of course–
   as anyone who tried it regretted it even if using all commercial and all latest
   plugins – no need to elaborate further). So we already have a lot of work to 
   do, and since we always use the same settings across all sites for Shield, an
   export feature would be useful.
 * IMHO this is a trivial feature (at least more trivial than others I see).
 * Still, again IMHO, the most robust security plugin available for WP.
    Thank you
   for it.

 * Hey, thanks for the feedback… Appreciate your taking the time to lay it out.
 * There are a couple of releases in the works. The release next week has some major
   ui rework for the audit trail and other bits. Then the one after that is the 
   most exciting and if import/export isn’t on that release, it’ll be in the one
   after that. We’re gradually rebuilding a number of elements and they all build
   on each other. Import/export is coming, and it’ll be easy as pie to do. And it’s
   not long off. It’ll be a pro feature though, so I hope you can understand that.
 * There are number of releases, I know, but the plugin should automatically update
   for you.
    Thanks again!
