Question: What is Google's track record for where their open source releases end up over time?
Genuinely not knowledgeable here

  Maintain it briefly then slowly let it die.

    more like create a big launch for promo, then maintain it briefly then slowly let it die

    That's not fair. Sometimes they kill it off quickly.

    A recent example was the Google workspace CLI, which was maintained for just a month: <a href="https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/googleworkspace/cli

    My understanding is that this one was never really "official", and that the guy who released it wasn't following standard procedures. That's not even the official Google github account.

    yet they "maintain" the pinned state on the org page
