Great news and good to see Google (finally!) reacting to the Python 2 EOL dilemma and its repercussions on AppEngine!
A couple of question though: (1) "beta" is not very reassuring in a sense that we have millions of users in our AppEngine/DataStore backend. When will the library come out of beta? (2) Does the library come under Google Cloud support contracts?
