The article only mentions developers ("will be shut down for other 
developers on September 16, 2013"). Does that mean that Lightning can 
still access Google calendars via CalDAV? Should mozilla apply to be 
whitelisted to maintain CalDAV access? Are they shutting down CalDAV 
altogether? What would be the new "better-than-iCal" solution?

Or, as Google seems to recommend, use the "Google Calendar API"[1] to 
develop client applications?
