Dan,

I think it's quite telling that iGoogle's most loyal, experienced, and
evangelistic developers all share this view. The double standard of
inline support (even if it is mostly about latency) sows resentment
and an "us versus them" mentality among gadget developers.

Matt also has an excellent point when he suggests that eliminating
inlining for everyone would encourage improvements to the API that
just don't happen now. When you deprecated inlining, you suggested
that this might occur, that features which had been available via
inlining would be built into future versions of the API. Has this
happened at all?

Like Vision, I do want to stress that this isn't aimed at you
personally; you do an excellent job of keeping us informed, and I
thank you. However, for a company with such a strong developer
connection, Google Inc. can be remarkably insular when it comes to the
developer-related actions they take. This is an example of it here,
and it's endemic in the Themes, Android, and Gadgets for GMail
communities as well.
