Automations End of Life delayed until "TBD"

In fact there is a Pipelines user group meeting yesterday and John Karas who is the Product Manager for Pipelines and Automations was on the call.  Yes they are "musing" about setting an end of life date and are hence doing increased surveying to get a sense user's comfort level with Pipelines, both from an ease-of-use point of view and also from feature issues.  My two biggest bugaboos are the ability for Admins to share access to Administer Pipelines and also the fact that under some circumstances renaming fields can break a pipeline and that ties into what they refer to as "Unification" ... for example Field Usage in native Quickbase being able to see if the field is used in a Pipeline.

So whenever I see that little survey pop up I harp on those two issues every time.
