Issue #2646 was closed due to inactivity with a note saying "re-open if you think this still requires attention". It still requires attention, but no permission to reopen to issue. (Which seems like a rude combination.)


Was looking through stuff and discovered that there are still references to Google+:

Seeing references to removed APIs immediately makes me question the correctness of everything in this repository.
