XMPP turn-off by GV

(1/9) > >>

drgeoff:
I know it is just a matter of time but as of 1310 GMT 18 June 2018 the GV trunk (Motif) on my Asterisk PBX is still working.

I wonder if it will be a phased withdrawal of XMPP or an instant switch off everywhere for everyone.

SteveInWA:
Yes, the migration of users off of XMPP has begun today.  Yes, it really is time to give up on XMPP.  Yes, the migration is staged; there are a large number of steps that have to happen, across multiple platforms, on an account-by-account basis, to do this carefully and thoroughly.  It's going to take some days for all users to be converted.

In other words,

"GTB":  https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32005916- = largely correct.

"WhyADuck":  https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32005948- = bullshit speculation.

This is disappointing. I was hoping that Google had some oversized 15,000V knife switch that they throw to shut the whole thing down in one glorious, sparks-exploding "farewell."

Only in the theatrical version, I suppose.

SteveInWA:
Bill, ha!

You mean, like this?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ9Xk0Lln5Y

SteveInWA:
There are tens of millions of Google Voice users, so it would have to be 10 megavolt knife switch, at least.  All kidding aside, every single account needs to be touched and a whole lot of other systems need to be altered.  It's like a large city performing a major water main or sewer line replacement; first, you build out the new pipes, pumping stations, junctions, sensors, etc, then you connect the new lines, then you shut off the old lines, and abandon them, all while millions of people are using their toilets.
