> Still, if it means Google is investing in Matrix, that's a good thing. I always worry at some point it will be killed.

This isn't Google investing in Matrix, this is a group of people who work at Google using their spare time to rewrite the product so it doesn't get taken offline.

If anything, the lack of a dedicated team or resources is a strong indicator that Matrix will be on the chopping block at some point in the future.

There isn't a dedicated team because it's not a business product, but internally it's considered very important because it essentially allows power users to beta test our backend. For that reason alone it will be kept around and supported indefinitely.
