I'm not sure that any of them will know the difference. Beyond looking 
at the timeline how many of them actually knew it was the switch from 
joscar to libgaim that broke x or y thing? It's not that big of a deal 
for or against the blog post to be honest, I just don't want to see 
anymore headaches that we can avoid until release time is all.
