The general vibe I get is that while Google is positive about the change, they're not offering feature parity [0] and don't seem to have any specific reason to not make the old API a facade of the new one in the first place. The bigger picture is probably that we all see the writing on the wall when Google starts to shuffle their services, like they did for messaging, as it means Google doesn't see it as a big enough deal to be more cautious about it. If it's really the case, whatever Google says we might as well consider it dead in 2 years.
