Google appears to have some other problems with various services
they are offering as well. Googles 'Webmaster Tools' have glitches
that people keep complaining about but never seem to get fixed.

ie: site validation.

I wonder if these are signs of Google technical resources
being spread too thin or people there are getting
a bit too fat and slow and resting on laurels.
