What's going on is "we have 14 standards so we need to create a 15th" actually worked this time

FYI if you use Jetbrains/PyCharm, it also provides this (and has saved me many times)

Just right click your file and view "Local History"

Is there a version of this that is annotated?

For example a few steps in are some niches on the wall -- I half expected a popup explaining their purpose

So much enthusiasm -- I wish I had teachers like him at school.

I do the exact same thing. I find WIP stash-per-branch very useful when I'm context switching often between feature branches. I've got two aliases set up for this -- `git wip` and `git popwip`:

  $ git config --global alias.wip
  !git add --all && git commit -am 'wip'

  $ git config --global alias.popwip
  !git log -1 --pretty=%B | grep -q '^wip$' && git reset HEAD^ || echo 'HEAD is not a wip commit'

It seems to me this product is mainly targeted at 1) new customers, and 2) AE Flex customers wanting to switch to Standard.

The third category (Existing 2.7 Standard customers wanting to just upgrade to 3.7 -- which is me unfortunately) are going to be disappointed and stuck in a hard place, I think.

> At this time, the original App Engine-only APIs are not available in Second Generation runtimes, including Python 3.7.

This means that if you already have a significant app running on Appengine Standard, none of the built-in APIs are supported (memcache, images, search, task queues, email, etc). That's a significant blocker to anyone wanting to upgrade their existing Standard 2.7 app to 3.7.

It also matters whether you're using Python 2 or 3. This is one of the things they changed in 3:

    >>> print(0.1 + 0.2)
    0.30000000000000004
