Poll: Is intelligent/ programmable Auto ISO an important feature for future FW updates?

In manual the photographer has control of ISO, shutter-speed and aperture—that is why it is called "manual". There is no other factor left to control with the EC knob. If the image is underexposed for example, the photographer can increase the aperture, slow down the shutter speed or increase the ISO if needed. It is about manual control. No camera manufacturer has yet to discover a mystical fairy-dust that will be a fourth factor in the exposure triangle, no matter how blissfully the uninformed desire it.
Auto ISO only provides the sensitivity that the other two variables demand in relation to the ambient light as perceived by the sensor. If it provides the wrong amount of compensation, it is up to the photographer's intelligence to go to full manual and set the sensitivity to provide for perfect exposure, or to go to another mode like aperture priority and use the EC knob.
