Okay, so it's not very likely.

What made me transition away from Google/Gmail as my identity provider was pondering the question:

How screwed am I if I get locked out of my Google account?

The answer: Well, if you're on Hacker News, you may have a chance of reaching a human. But if you broke a policy, good luck.

I'm paying $5/mo. for that to not be that screwed.

(I have family who got locked out. It does happen.)
