What features at GV will still work ?
gderf:
Maybe they allow non GV connected apps to continue?

Making the "forward to Google chat" check box disappear will break forwarding of calls to the stand alone Google Talk application. Why would Google want to do that?
Because, as I said, Chat and Talk are obsolete, and will no longer be supported. They're going away, too. Hangouts is the replacement for both of them.
That whole discussion over on DSL reports was a bunch of utterly useless, uninformed speculation. Admittedly, it wouldn't have to be that way if Google would just do a better job of communicating with the public, but sorry, I don't run things there :-P

I'm betting Google restricts access to XMPP in such a way that their own apps continue to work, but external apps and third party access don't.
There is no point to that. Chat and Talk are being shut down and replaced by Hangouts. This is not simply a vendetta against third-party apps. It's about shutting down Chat/Talk/XMPP and moving forward to WebRTC and Hangouts.

SteveInWA - So can you confirm, will the "forward to Google chat" check box disappear on May 15th?
I'm waiting to find out the nitty-gritty details of how that will be implemented, so I can't tell you if it will magically disappear by itself, (preferable), or if it will just stop working and die, needing to be cleaned out manually. If there is something I am able to disclose publicly, I'll try to do so.

SteveInWa - I think you should add "Helping Blind Men Describe Camels" to your signature. You have dispelled more myth, speculation and outright gossip in a very few posts and I think that moniker would be an honor that would be a good conversation starter. Thank you for clarifying alot of information.
