I don't think so; I'm fairly sure this is the second issue listed above.

I have a lot of PCI-related work that is sort-of-ready for integration
which starts us down the path to fix this, but I need time to clean it
up and test it, and I don't want to inflict *too* much misery on people
all at once.

It's also what I was working on the night I got hit... *shiver*
