Why would this be an issue? That is, why is this an issue that's any more important than that Chinese ISP that keeps sending you emails about the .cn version of your domain name? Having yourname.blogspot.com wasn't a priority yesterday, so why is it in any way bad news to find that it's not available today? There are a million places to register unique names for things. Some (like .com domains) have value, some (like Geocities profiles, square feet of peat at the Lagavulin distillery, and .blogspot.com subdomains) do not.
