As many of you know as of 1.5 the link update system started using the
Ping-O-Matic API instead of processing the 3MB+ changes.xml file. This
was a lot faster for everyone, and weblogs.com seems to be stabler since
we stopped all the WP blogs from hitting it all the time, but as several
people noted the PoM API was only returning blogs that it knew about,
which was much fewer than go through Weblogs.com. Anyway it's all the
same now, Ping-O-Matic is now parsing several sources including
weblogs.com for update information, so the quality of updates should be
as good or better as when everyone was manually parsing changes.xml.
