It isn't black and white. A little more transparency might entice some of the more experienced users to try out the feature and provide feedback. It doesn't require firm pricing, but it does require some amount of trust that the feature will be priced attainably. Unfortunately, there are several recent examples of Google announcing prices that effectively take features offline: Backends, XMPP, and Maps. I don't have high hopes that FTS will avoid the same fate. Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
