If I were to put my cynical hat on, I would perhaps suggest this is at it's root, just an attempt to get visitors to the blog as this would be "news" in the SEO sphere. Without evidence, sorry, but it isn't anything at all. Jaan - I'm surprised at you!
Yeah I agree tomcatuk and I mentioned that in an above post. Would like more info than just this claim, hopefully he will post it.

As far as link baiting it could be, but he gets plenty of traffic and links so not sure he needs it.
