WordPress, WordPattrn, WordPattrn!, and an April Word Fools Joke?

Not sure what the heck is going on at WordPress, but apparently they’ve merging with Textpattern to create WordPattern. They were even sly enough to put a notice in the WordPress feed. At WordPattern.org, it lists that WordPattern has been acquired by Flickr at 3PM (changing name to WordPattrn) and then acquired by Yahoo! at 4PM and is now called WordPattrn! (mergers… don’t happen so fast…) Looking at the Dean and Matthew must have had one heck of a time with the practical joke…
