It's nice there's a policy around that, but I can understand the fears of someone considering using this to start a product - or even worse, a business.

Google has an history of shutting down useful products, why people should trust that one for long term integration?

Because we don't have a history of violating promises like this when done in writing? Seriously, I'd love to call us just "Cloud Platform" so you don't have to think "oh yeah, those guys cancelled reader on me" but if you look at the Cloud products we don't play games with this (partly because we hold ourselves to our binding Deprecation Policy, but mostly because we really care).
