"The plan is to continue supporting legacy gadgets, but I don't have the specific timeline available. I'm working on this as we speak and will hopefully have a complete timeline available within a month or two. Part of not announcing gadgets.* is that I didn't want everyone to panic about the legacy API until the plan was finalized. So, don't panic. :) " I'd say we're pretty panicked at this point... How's that time line coming? Step One, botch everyones legacy gadget. Step Two, ??? Step Three, Profit!!
