Well, I read through SVC-85 and at no point did it appear to be even 
temporarily fixed.  Usually after a Linden comment saying that "we think 
we fixed it" there was a response from the residents that "no, you 
didn't."  A good victory condition would be a response the next day that 
said "yes, it works now."  The friends list is either there or it's not. 
  What is subjective about that?

Of course this doesn't affect me directly because I have no friends. :-)
