Wow, very sorry to see that. The last few weeks of threads have been
increasingly worrisome. I read a very candid interview with Netflix
CIO recently about AWS. He noted that AWS is always behind feature-
wise because they never want to screw things up for their production
users. My sense is that G. intends to gain share by an ever-increasing
feature set, and the tradeoff is situations like these. Swords are
always double-sided it seems. -stevep
