Trust me, I know. I do agree with the folks that argued that security compromise is worse than deprecation though.
My counter-argument is the same as yours: find someone to handle it, for as long as it makes sense (I personally jumped on a grenade for a short period of time, but that's not enough). As the commenter below argues, that's probably not indefinite, but it is likely greater than 1 year.
Quite frankly, this service should probably have never gone to GA. Plenty of products don't work, but instead of just going out into the marketplace to see what sticks, we should have what it takes to say "This isn't ready". (We have this now, we didn't then).
I appreciate you being patient with us, and understand how this affects your decisions going forward.
- nojvek 9y agoTotally agree. Seems Google wants to be in exploring mode at the same time as conquer the world mode. It needs to have strict communication with its users. I like that they have some sort of focus and trim junk but they have to really communicate that with their users. You have to be upfront on how many of your API's are in beta mode. I remember Gmail being in beta for 5 years. May be this should be the new bar. If you can't get your shit working in 5 years then can it. If you can and enough users use if then support it for a lifetime.
