Was at a workbench type event at IBM's Germany headquarter about their Cloud infrastructure. While discussing microservices, they mentioned that they own WU. It was actively suggested we could use data from WU for our own services. This was last month(ish). -- The end of WU was not handled well by IBM.

Similar story with the tech consultancy I work for. IBM tried to pitch the WU API to us during the summer for a large-ish project for a major client of ours. Thank god we ended up going with Dark Sky instead or that could've been quite a few man hours down the drain, not to mention us looking bad to the client.
