I'll go 10 cents that there's an ftp plug-in within a week of the cut-off.
Any takers?

And I think there's an argument to be made that's how that functionality should have been added in the first place.

We no longer believe the company places values over profits
That's like the pot calling the kettle black. Seriously. Can one be that ignorant? Of course one can. The "oohs" and "aahs" alone when one says "I work at Google" is sufficient to blind one to various forms of ego boosting "profit" that one receives.
Or, if you prefer: We value profit (not just monetary), we do not profit from values. We merely delude ourselves that we value values above profits. Pure delusion.

That means that it'll be useful for quantum-computer file-copy dialogs.

Many open source projects attain a level of "maturity" where no one really needs any new features and there aren't a lot of new bugs being found, and the contributors to these projects dwindle, often to a single maintainer who is generally grateful for developers who take an interest in these older projects and offer to share the chores, intermittent work of keeping the projects alive. Beware of geeks bearing gifts (of assistance)?

This article is really good and shouldn't be passed up.
No one cares about security until they are hacked.
And if security means there is no access functionality or makes accessing functionality extremely difficult then users are glad to be insecure.
Career advice: Good enough security trumps best security | CSO Online[^]
Article Quote:
The realization that most of the world doesn’t want the best security will help you advance in your security career.
One of the best things any computer security professional can do to further their career is to recognize that most people don’t really care that much about computer security. Few popular products sell because of security. Security absolutely doesn’t matter in most cases — until, of course, when it matters very much during a big hacking event. Most companies and their customers are very happy with the absolute least amount of security that has minimal impact on them. That’s just our computer security life. You must learn to operate within the confines of that social agreement.
Case in point: One of my most popular talks has been “The 12 Ways to Hack 2FA”. I’ve given the talk dozens of times. The key lessons are that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is good, but any MFA solution can be hacked. To that end, the current version of my talk now covers 18 ways to hack an MFA solution.
After every talk, at least one MFA vendor comes up to me to explain how their great solution fixes all those problems. Within a few minutes, I show them how five or seven of the attack types would easily work against their product. They usually go limping home.
Some vendors don’t give up. They come back to me with improved, five-factor (if there is such a thing) versions that do get rid of most of the attack channels. I’ve even come across a few that are really, really secure (but still not unhackable). They still walk away with a frown when I tell them that it’s unlikely that anyone will buy, much less use their product.
No customer is going to want to use an authentication solution that involves more than a few factors of authentication. Most want to do the very least to provide assurance to themselves with the least amount of “friction” for the customer. Companies know that anything that gets in the way of a customer using their product as seamlessly as possible is making them hemorrhage customers in a very real way.
