This weekend, while checking my RSS stats on FeedBurner I noticed that the "all time" option of RSS subscribers was gone.

This thing raised a nest of hornets, with some bloggers accusing Google not to communicate with users, other looking for alternatives, and yet other offering hacks to download the historical data.

The official forum was full of people asking for an explanation since last Saturday. On Monday Steve Olechowski, Product Manager of FeedBurner, posted a comment saying it was a bug and would have been fixed in the next code update, and the same was done on the forum when the code was "pushed" in production.

C'mon guys, we are all developers, we know anyone can make an error, no reason to look for conspiracy theories everywhere.

Actually the Feedburner team fixed the bug in very short time.
