I think the usual title for axing something at Google is “an update on X”. Usually means X is axed. Like, “Update on Google Wave” from 2010: https://googleblog

  Internally at Google, people often announce that they're leaving the company with "An update on (my name)" emails, for precisely this reason.

    That's either a great inside joke or tragic because of how axing products has become normalized.

      Maybe it's just the resulting phrase of years of a/b testing.

      It's such a common inside joke that people even make variant jokes in reference to it, like maybe: "Subject: An update on evmar / Body: No, I'm not quitting, I just got a new puppy!"
