Good we talk about it then :)

My reasoning is that if someone goes through the trouble of manually
adding an exchange (and the wallet finds that there's nothing with it),
they would like it saved for later even if they don't end up choosing it
for a withdrawal right now.

It might also make things simpler for the implementation and open the
door for a dedicated management UI that is independent of withdrawals.

Btw. maybe it makes sense to later also introduce an exchange-add
taler:// Uri to make it easier for people to add different exchanges?

Kind Regards,
