I'm really baffled by this question. Screw what up? Fuchsia is not a product; some people at Google are working on a project and it's gotten a bit of attention. I'm just confused as to the level of entitlement that would presume there is something here to "screw up".

You're being willfully naive if you think that Google wouldn't take an internal project, productize it, and then proceed to screw up said product.

This is literally the past 15 years of Google.

Other than for Gmail/Chrome[OS]/Android/Photos/Youtube/Music/Maps, I totally agree.

I'm not sure what your point is though. Yes, Google could take an internal project, turn it in to a product, and then "proceed to screw up said product"...over the course of, what, 5, 10 years? What is the point of speculating about something so far off with no data? They could also turn it in to a product and then not "screw it up".

What am I being naive about? Do all of the wildly successful Google products not count here?
