You could start by being a little more transparent about what you're doing. 
Publishing release roadmaps are the norm for almost every software company 
in the world. You guys seem to love to leave us (the users) in the dark

has been taken down for days by something which we could have told you was 
going to break it. 

sorry, but we're bailing on appengine as soon as we can.
