Lightning has 1.2M average daily users in total.

Well ok, then lets concentrate on those new features and not care about 
substantial things breaking. Syntax errors and not working caldav 
provider in a release will just make a brighter day. Who cares if it 
will make the calendar even slower so far that the UI will hang even 
when just writing an email. Also, Lightning not working at all for some 
users because of issues with the upgrade - pah. At least we have a new 
feature.

Then act like it. Google announces something and you blame me. You have 
no idea what Google's motivations are, it could be anything. Bad 
codebase, revenue, traffic shaping and any other reason. Its kind of 
like hearing about someone having a certain condition and then making 
assumptions on what could be the cause without consulting a doctor.

These are the last words I will write on this topic.
Thank you for your help and understanding.
