When will people stop relying on these guys?

So many projects fled SourceForge (for valid reasons) and ended up on Google Code. Now what will they do? And LESS than 6 months to hope everybody gets the word and moves their stuff? This sounds TERRIBLE.

For a company of Google's breadth and scope, a 5 month warning seems very stingy, more the kind of act of a company bleeding cash.

I never used Google Reader, but I sympathize with those who got burned by it (and the other various Google orphan dead).

And yet... people still look at me funny when I explain how I set up my own mail server so I don't have to rely on a free service like GMail. Sheesh.
