Hi,

I just saw news here and there (*) that Google Maps Engine will be 
discontinued in January 2016 (couldn't find an official statement from Google 
however, apart from an email quoted by others...). So I was wondering if there 
was a point in keeping the driver in trunk or if it should be just be killed ?

If so, GDAL 2.0 would probably be the first version to remove an existing 
driver : cool ;-)! We could probably do the same with a few drivers for 
esoteric old formats, but it's difficult to know for sure which ones are 
completely unused.
