I could be completely wrong of course, and the timing is convenient. I guess it depends on when these changes were pushed in, but then it's hard to tell when a possibly fake timestamp was made...
Possibly fake?
Meta comment: What is with all the smiley faces in these comments? 6 in 24 comments. Either people here get weirdly giddy over Google or the userbase is now mostly in their teens.
You're an idiot.

Unless the dispute resolution is on good tracks to be solved, I don't find it funny because Google has the weight to squash anyone on its way, even unintentionally. Go was a good name for a language invented at google but it is unfortunately not available. The name 'lango' suggested in a comment was, in my opinion, a brilliant alternative name proposal. And the most funny alternative name proposal was 'go2'.
The whole kerfuffle about the name being taken and everyone firing off their suggestions for a new one is the greatest example of bikeshedding I have ever seen.
Awesome. If "Issue9" doesn't take off, I suggest we call it "Kerfluffle". And if that doesn't fly, how about "BikeShed"? :)
