That's not a joke - it's true... The joke part of it is in: there are two types of systems at Google, the ones that are deprecated, and the ones that are not yet ready for production.

That's not a joke either. Inside of Google you can ask anyone whether a particular API is the version that's deprecated or not ready yet, and they will always know which one it is.

Try it.

Occasionally there're ones that're both; The worst case is when they're both, and also key parts of production infrastructure.

On the plus side, when the next thing fails to materialize for long enough, we do occasionally undeprecate the last thing.
