Although I never actually tried the conversion API (too many people complaining 
it didn't work well scared me off), I think that Google is setting a bad 
precedent here.

Killing projects because of low adoption makes people loath to adopt, because 
all the work they spend getting a feature integrated may be spontaneously 
wasted if it turns out the feature isn't widely adopted.

So people reasonably avoid adopting features until they are popular.

So features are killed because of low adoption.

etc.

I'm not sure exactly what the better way of doing things would be, but there 
are plenty of options. This way is clearly a terrible way to do business.
