I brought it up because a Blizzard rep, speaking officially, changed the stance from "we will not be requiring real names in the forums" to "for the time being". That's a change from an indefinite future with no plans to make the change, to a pretty clear indication that they plan to make the change in the future. "For the time being" is necessarily a short-term plan with implicit plans to change the decision later.
When it looked like they really had backed down, I figured it was a dead issue. Now that an official rep has stated, in an interview, that they have only backed down for the short term, I don't think it's a dead issue.
