A "Dr. Strangelove" update on the closure of Google Code
"But the whole point of a doomsday machine is lost if you keep it
a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh?"
- "Dr. Strangelove" (1968)
Updating on concerns regarding the announced closure of Google Code ...
Google now states that rather than deleting unmigrated projects after
December 2016 as implied in their original posting, they will instead
be preserving those projects in a repository on googlesource.
Apparently this was the plan all along. Why didn't they explain this
originally? I dunno, but perhaps it was to encourage users to migrate
on their own. If they'd been straightforward about this in the first
place, it would have saved me an inbox full of concerned queries and
an entire blog posting. Still, all's well that ends well.
