Seriously? The fraction of the 1.2 Million average daily users that uses 
Google CalDAV will really make a difference? Or even the remaining 
amount that didn't succeed in setup? If this were an Email and 
Calendaring client with a large portion of the market share that might 
be a valid argument, but blaming me is just wrong. I'm sorry you don't 
have your feature and I would love to see it too, but there are just 
bigger problems to handle: getting rid of update problems by replacing 
libical with a js implementation, fixing performance problems with many 
events, improving test coverage and architecture to avoid regressions. 
I've tried to encourage new contributors to work on this project, but 
that didn't succeed yet.

Google is likely doing this because they need to manage their traffic in 
a better way.

As I've said numerous times before, this will go out well. Lightning 
will be able to handle this. Enough with the bashing today!
