So magic happened and it has been corrected by some mysterious  
force ... well, as long as the mysterious force does whatever it does  
the way it seems to have done it this time, that's great! ;-)

BTW, I think it's great that they are doing this -- I just think we  
don't even want to start talking about this such as trademark usage  
policy as long as product releases aren't even correctly attributed ...
