A couple of months ago, unannounced changes were rolled out to the
gadgets container on Gmail. When I complained (in http://tinyurl.com/l68cah),
I got a very reasonable response from Dan...

I agreed with the above in the context that it was posted - gadgets on
GMail are a Labs feature, and as such we developers can't expect a
high level of support from Google.

I bring this up now in the context of iGoogle, where gadgets most
assuredly are NOT a Labs feature (nor is the API itself in Labs).
Nonetheless, code-breaking changes have been introduced in the last
week or so, with virtually no communication from Google before or
since.

Therefore, I hope there's agreement from all parties that a serious
communications failure has occurred here. The channel (this forum)
exists, and it has been silent.
