Thanks Brad. So, then, my backup plan is to use the pshb code provided by Google and run my own version of the hub, in which I enable polling. Any issues here? I understand that I will run into the task queue limit of 10K tasks a day, but assuming I get a raised quota or implement my own queue with external pinging, is there any other problem I might run into? And, when you say "it's not great", what exactly do you mean? Is it not well tested yet? Or are there any app engine restrictions that make it problematic?
