I wonder if Google would get better adoption if they explicitly published what would be needed for them not to drop the product..

Feedly picked up 3 million new users in the two weeks following Google shutting down Reader. Based on that alone I would never trust Google not to shut down a product that seems popular and well-used.

Literally the only thing that would change my perception of Google's short-termism would be if they don't shut down any products in the next 10 years.
