Why is Gmail not part of Google+?

I spend a lot of my day using Gmail.  In fact, all of Google’s productivity apps: mail, calendar, tasks and documents.  I’m a big fan, as well.

For the last two days, I’ve spent a few minutes poking around Google Plus because I get the sense that it’s on the verge of breaking out.

One of the things I’ve noticed is how many older Google services have been integrated into Google+, for example, Picasa Photos and Google Local.

Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks: why isn’t Gmail integrated right into Google Plus?  Certainly, if Google started migrating Mail users into Plus via integration, that would cause it to take off like a rocket, no?

Of course, the transition would need to be done well.  Nobody like it when their cheese is moved.  I get that.  I’m just saying that it seems pretty obvious to me that Gmail should be integrated into Google+.
