It would be nice if Google would publish a finite state machine showing what's going on with your accounts/email addresses, and what you can do to transition to somewhere better. It might make people feel better to know that there is a logical process (is there?) when something screws up, rather than having to pray to the user support people to fix your account. I mean, I don't pay Google for anything, and I know that Google is mainly made up of machines, not humans. So I imagine my accounts could get "eaten" at any time, perhaps permanently. I don't really trust Google with my Google accounts.
