I assumed they want to see how people will react (they are in essence A/B testing Canada vs the USA). And that they're oping that people will end up using the service more or less as intended. It's an interesting experiment, I read more than 20 articles from NYTimes.com a month, but I don't need more than a few. If the blogosphere starts pointing to the BBC instead, I'll end up reading that. I should probably mention that it's my code (if we can call it that) we're talking about. The traffic is killing my blog now, but I a few hours ago made it out of curiosity if I could hack that (it was 20 minutes all in).
