If I am following (which would not be the first time that I am not)
and if we are talking about the same things then when is it that they
started to indicate that their whole resources measurements and
billing model is broken and that it needs to be rethought ?  My main
point is that they waited too long and that way less damage would have
been cause much earlier - before too many developers invested
themselves to heavily on a "free" and/or "very inexpensive lunch"
platform.  My whole point is that if there is anyone in the world who
can figure it out and who has empirical data with which to figure it
all out then its certainly GOOG.  Perhaps they tried to be too
innovative while even to this day they appear not to have the
technology that enables true resource sharing so that it is not being
hogged - be it cpu or memory.  So, if you can not make something
shareable and reusable then what ever made them think that they could
ever be able to sustain the burden that is caused by the fact that
resources that were being hogged while not being used were indeed
being given away.  So, they swung the pendulum from that silly notion
all the way into the new scheme of where they have 15 minute penalty
for a resource that they much earlier grab back and reuse elsewhere.
With that 15 minute period in mind, just how many times could the same
"memory" end up being used and concurrently charged.  That is not only
a draconian change but it also reeks of unfairness - even dishonest
unfairness.
