Google have been working up to this change for quite a while now. Rclone supports shortcuts from version v1.54.0 released on 2021-02-02. I've been impressed with the communication from Google and the care they've taken to keep things working in what must be a difficult transition. I hope that this change can finally unlock the API to be able to return all the children of a given node recursively. Multiple parents make this much harder. The drive API doesn't have that at the moment and it makes traversing deep directory trees really painful. An API search term to find the objects which have a given ID as an ancestor at any depth would be fantastic.
