I'm sorry but I think I have to back up Mos here. I'm as excited about
the new-shiny as anyone else, but no amount of new-shiny makes up for
the frayed nerves of annoyed users, instance-spawning chaos, requests
that never even reach my app, silence from google, a completely
oblivious status page, and so on. Please make the platform rock-solid
first, and then by all means, bring on the new-shiny.
