Maybe BigDaddy is Here to Stay...

http://www.webworkshop.net/google-madness.html

,----[ Snippet ]
| In the first few months of this year (2006), Google rolled out a new
| infrastructure for their servers. The infrastructure update was called
| "Big Daddy". As the update was completed, people started to notice that
| Google was dropping their sites' pages from the index - their pages were
| being dumped. Many sites that had been fully indexed for a long time were
| having their pages removed from Google's index, which caused traffic to
| deteriorate, and business to be lost. It caused a great deal of
| frustration, because Google kept quiet about what was happening.
| Speculation about what was causing it was rife, but nobody outside
| Google knew exactly why the pages were being dropped.
| 
| Then on the 16th May 2006, Matt Cutts, a senior Google software
| engineer, finally explained something about what was going on. He
| said that the dropping of pages is caused by the improved crawling
| and indexing functions in the new Big Daddy infrastructure, and he
| gave some examples of sites that had had their pages dropped.

I hope that others will find this informative.
