Google must now be getting into the stages of tackling the problems Big Daddy laid down the infastructure for.

That was really my point -- I certainly could have expressed it more clearly, as you did, Dayo. Big Daddy is not an update, it's a new infrastructure, a better tool, if you will, for Google to use on their back end. So we're not watching a "Google Dance" in the historical sense.

I expect to see continued flux, specific data centers being set apart for various experiments and fixes, and so on. But the roll-out is done, and essentially now, Big Daddy == Google. At least that's how it looks to me.

For many weeks, I didn't trust any Google data for doing analysis, but now I do. I see enough stability to move forward again with website changes that help to clarify the signals various domains are sending to Google.
