Do you agree?
Yeah, that was my understanding as well. It will basically render all older versions of rclone obsolete for newer credentials after Feb. 28th and for everything after Oct. 3.
Pretty small timeline for such major changes considering how many apps may rely on such behaviour because of how easy it was.
None of the alternatives mentioned in OAuth 2.0 for Mobile & Desktop Apps | Google Identity | Google Developers is remotely as simple.

Welcome :-)
So you've got an idea to improve rclone? We love that!
Y… ou'll be glad to hear we've incorporated hundreds of ideas from contributors already.
Probably the latest beta (or stable) release has your feature, so try to update your rclone.
The update instructions are available at https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_selfupdate/
If it still isn't there, here is a checklist of things to do:
1. Search the old issues for your idea and +1 or comment on an existing issue if possible.
2. Discuss on the forum: https://forum.rclone.org/
3. Make a feature request issue (this is the right place!).
4. Be prepared to get involved making the feature :-)
Looking forward to your great idea!
The Rclone Developers
