[wp-forums] Is there ANY official update about the WordPress Stats shenanigans?

Can there be some 'official' post somehwere we can point people to?  Cause, no offense, the next question we're going to get is 'Where is this posted?'

There's a dearth of communique.

They had no pre-warning of any changes, no official explanation after the event and there are no real solutions to the current problems that some of them are facing. Even an official "We know there are problems but hang on in there - we're working on fixing them" would go a long way right now.
