So for those of us that got in this a decade ago, and have been running an entire family on it, what should be the chosen migration path?

I've already got nextcloud hosted locally, and could easily add calendar support.

The missing piece of the puzzle is email, and how mad android devices are going to get when their "google" email address no longer points to a google service.

Personally, I will lilely setup an on-prem Exchange instance and start mirroring content, but its a tool I happen to know well.

My real plan is to wait for enough pain at Google by other nerdy employees to either solve the political or technical issues migrating out, or for this policy change to go away.

I'll have my bags packed, but I still have hope that July is far enough away to not have to turn out the lights behind me.

I'm of the opinion that if they're willing to do a halfassed implementation like this now, they can walk it back and try again later after the initial shock has worn off.

The trust that the product will remain is gone. I guess I need to start packing my bags too.
