no i'm not. i'm disgusted by google destroying knowledge after 2016. i deeply
care about open knowledge and such destruction is totally unacceptable.

yes, they externalize their costs again on us. them, who would count as one of
the top 50 states if we'd live in a more fascistic world. we can migrate the
stuff away that we want to preserve after 2016. they could put it on read-only
and host it for 20 more years.

there's shitloads of valuable unmaintained and orphaned projects on
googlecode, which will not be migrated if we do not get 1/ google to take
responsibility, 2/ someone else cleaning up googles shit.
