Friends Online - no mention?

Hi, just wondering why there is no mention anywhere in the blog or the forums about Friends Online being disabled - with no ETA for bringing it back up or fixing it?

I don't need to say how important this feature is - there is all kinds of other stuff regularly updated in the blogs and forums about passwords, burning life -- why not this?

And the second part of the question - what's the projected status for friends online? Thanks!

(Thanks Kelly for your answer and thanks for the blog posting!)

The friends list right now is just flakey. It is having weird bugs and load issues (it tends to fail more during prime time). We are actively working on fixes for this, and we do know how important of a feature this is. The bad news is that no fixes for this are going out tomorrow. The good news is that because of how friends and presence work, it may be possible to release fixes for this without down time outside of our normal release schedule.
