It's not disingenuous. Unless you've been living under a rock, Google has a very reliable track record of killing projects [0]. It's a very reasonable question.

- esafak 3y agoZanzibar is a system described in a public paper, not a product; it can't be killed. Indeed, it has been implemented as a service by numerous other companies.
- kweingar 3y agoI'm confused as to why anyone outside Google would care about the possibility of Google deprecating Zanzibar. It's an internal-only project that handles authorization across Google services. It's totally invisible to all users and customers. I can't think of a reason why anybody would be affected by Google switching to a new global authorization system. What are you concerned about here: a potential impact on users, or the internal impact for Google engineers that could come from switching to a new system?
