Thanks, MCP…

No, this is a classic case of announce, then develop, so there’s no guide for households, though there is a media backgrounder. Details in April, by which time the new logo should be ready.

I’m not surprised this happened in January – it was the deadline for the cancelled program to actually run out of money and expire. This is why we had that fridge magnet for the longest time reminding us of the January 2007 deadline.

I guess with the current warming trend, it will be a while before Heck freezes over.
