If I'm understanding this all correctly...can anyone say 'Breach of Trust'?
I feel like I've just had the rug pulled out from under me. I never thought we'd see changes like this. Granular billing for cpu-time down to the millisecond was a keystone attraction for AppEngine. Getting people to buy in with one set of characteristics and then switching over to a fundamentally different and entirely less lean set later, once everyone is 'dependent' and 'invested'? Holy sh-t Google, say it ain't so. If this is how I think it is, I'll never dev on a Google platform again.
