Perhaps I am reading too much into your comment but you make it seem as though releasing other products slows down the development of those projects that you consider halfway done.
This is definitely not the case; it's not as though the engineers who were working on CloudSQL or AppEngine decided to start working on a CLI instead.
> I think recent articles I've read about launching being the track to promotion explain some of the state of things within GCP.
There are certainly issues with promotion but if anything I'd imagine getting a highly requested customer feature like Postgres out of beta would be awesome for promotion so I don't think that's the underlying issue here.
