Google Voice - still working - and its 16 May 2014
Crow550:
Until Hangouts gets updated for Android then XMPP calling will get disabled is my guess?
iOS has native VOIP calling with Hangouts but not Android users.
For those looking for official word from Google: https://plus.google.com/+NikhylSinghal/posts/MjyncJEbzxK
There is also a new Telephone API from Hangouts too: https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/telephone-oauth ;)

I don't understand why Obi can't release a new firmware to adopt this new API. Is it even possible? Any technical barriers? Can you Obi??

It kinda just came out of nowhere. I found it while reading the comments on the G+ post that I posted. Looks like it was added on the 15th. Even some of the commentors are pointing out that it's new.
So my guess is 3rd Parties don't yet know of it. I did make a separate thread on this too.
So feel free to contact Obihai, GrooveIP and Talkatone and such directly on this subject to let them know.

I suspect that the whole thing was because of GV not having 911. The keyword that leads me to that conclusion is "unsafe" used in the google blog post. Nanny state strikes again.

No. VOIP is not legally required to have E911. I don't think Skype even offers it.
What was unsafe was that 3rd Parties were using the XMPP method as a hack which made VOIP calling beyond G-Chat possible.
Now Google is offering real official 3rd Party support. ;)
They could offer E911? It's too soon to tell what exactly is going on. There are services that do offer E911 too.
All we can assume is that Google will have some updates soon on what all updates is coming to G-Voice. :)
