I know this has come up before, but is there anyone within Google we 
can ask to shed some light on Google's long-term intentions?

My gut feeling is that the only reason Google Talk (ie federated S2S) is 
still around is that their corporate Google Apps users objected quite 
loudly, but they still haven't said anything about what they intend to 
do to address that (not insignificant) userbase's needs.
