Totally agree on this. Reader was a free software. They may not be making billions out of App Engine but a lot of fortunate 500 are moving to this kind of platform and Google has probably invested tens of billions and thousands of engineers into GAE. No way they will kill this in the next 10 years unless market crashed.

That kind of cynical thought should be eliminated.

Not that many.

>and Google has probably invested tens of billions and thousands of engineers into GAE

If we're speculating, I'd say, far far less.

Except for the parts they use themselves too, anyway.
