> The deprecation timeline is too aggressive

I’ve seen Google deprecate a dozen products I’ve used. They all follow the same pattern:

1) Deprecation announced with shut down date

2) 1-2 months before the day, they’ll send an email saying the shut down is delayed by 3-12 months

3) Repeat steps 1-2 until enough people have migrated away

The same thing will happen with Google Analytics, scheduled to be disabled July 2023. There’s no way Google will turn off millions of Analytics (GA3) accounts in 6 months when their replacement product (GA4) is so inferior.
