I'm having a hard time understanding where in this article it actually states why the shutdown is "good news". Rather, it seems to have focused more on why it happened and where Facebook is headed.
IMHO, whenever a service shuts down, no matter if it's helping a million users or just one, it's usually not good news for those using it. Google Reader being a great example of that.
