Huh? The labor theory of value dubious? Did we just flush down the loo 250 years of Smith, Ricardo and Marx?

So the labor theory of value would be replaced by... what? Marginal utility, which has always seemed to me closer to a divining rod than a theory? Or would we just abandon any attempt to explain value, as in modern economics? Is this generally agreed here, that the labor theory of value is somehow passé?
