Seerah said they had come out with it before Patch day there was a very real fear the WM would of been able to get around the block somehow. I'm sure I've also seen posts by Our-Illustrous-Forum-Lady-Whose-Name-I-Cant-Spell-Properly and Dolby-He-Who-Makes-Sure-The-Servers-Stay-Up to support this view. I choose to believe them.
Yes I know it sucks from a user side of things. But IMHO it is the lesser of two evils - upset some people and have the site stay up or have the site go down and have no one able to access it.
