Can't wait for someone to decide one of protocols used by google needs to be deprecated.

Plenty of protocols used by google over the years have been deprecated. The difference being that google actually stops using insecure protocols when they are discovered to be insecure instead of trying to sweep things under the rug.

Keep in mind we are talking about a protocol from 1987. How many protocols from 1987 is google currently using?

Well, you'll be waiting 20 years or so post-deprecation if you want an equivalent timeline.

Google thrives on being the Internet's biggest bully.

It turns out when nerds get a billion dollars they like being bullies too.
