Supporting the Google Calendar API in org-caldav wouldn't be hard. It's
actually a very clean, RESTful service; much better than CalDAV, in
fact. Just what you would expect from Google.

However, this is not a technical issue. This is also why I said that
anyone who wants to implement support for the Google Calendar API in
org-caldav should fork it; I won't accept pull requests which implement
that.

If Google decides to discontinue a well established, IETF-standardized
API in favor of a proprietary one for which there exist no free server
implementations, I will not support that. I think the best solution for
anyone using Google Calendar is to migrate away from that service.
