Have to agree with Patrick here ; the handwriting is on the wall. My 
experience would indicate that when Google decides to abandon a product, 
they often first stop updating it and then, after quite some time has 
passed, announce that the product in question will no longer be supported. 
That, for example, was what was done with the so-called Picasa for Linux 
(which was *not*, as has been noted on this forum innumerable times, a 
native Linux build, but rather a product with a built-in Wine emulator) and 
with Google Toolbar for Firefox (which, however, can still be made to work 
in all later versions of FF if the *Add-on Compatibility 
Reader*<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/>is
 installed). 
*Mene*, *Mene*, *Tekel*, *Upharsin*....
