Google services and products are often held in seemingly perpetual beta :p
I wouldn't worry about the designation too much. Billing was a major step in making it a service usable for large, heavy-use, popular apps, and perhaps makes it less easy for Google to hide behind the 'preview' moniker when it comes to certain basic expectations about how the service will perform etc. But GAE still doesn't have quality-of- service guarantees or a SLA..I wouldn't expect them to drop the preview label until something like that is added, at the very earliest. I think google knows something has to be of 'merchantable quality' before they can start charging for it..so I think the introduction of billing was an expression of their confidence in their ability to maintain a reasonable, sellable, level of service quality. From our point of view, if we're paying customers, it gives us more leeway to complain when things go wrong, and Google knows that.
