This product was also sold, not deleted. So to be a bit pedantic, it doesn't belong there. People are acting like this has died entirely or they aren't able to transfer their domains. It's not the end of the world.

But I guess people can feel good posting "Don't be evil I guess" over and over again (as has been posted in all the threads about this numerous times) or being all snooty about how they've "warned people forever" not to use any Google service ever.

That's just the nature of corporate pirates, they loot and plunder what they can use and integrate into their own products then scuttle the rest
