    With all this great documentation coming out, I'm getting really anxious to see the production version of these services.  I see that you mention that the service will be added to production server soon, but I'm curious how soon 'soon' really is.  I've got a good many websites that can utilize this functionality asap, but the clients want to wait for production status and SLAs, etc. Any juicy tidbits to ease their anxiety would be appreciated.
