Internally at Google, people often announce that they're leaving the company with "An update on (my name)" emails, for precisely this reason.

That's either a great inside joke or tragic because of how axing products has become normalized.

Maybe it's just the resulting phrase of years of a/b testing.

It's such a common inside joke that people even make variant jokes in reference to it, like maybe: "Subject: An update on evmar / Body: No, I'm not quitting, I just got a new puppy!"

Googlers of a certain era will also immediately recognize "Advancing Our Amazing X"

An awesome journey.
