This does seem to be a true update (as opposed to a rollback), as new sites with no previous PR is obtaining PR on the following datacenters. A quick and easy way to check is to use this tool.
216.239.57.99
216.239.57.104
216.239.53.99
216.239.53.104
There may be other datacenters as well, but those are the ones I know about. So, if you care about PageRank (and I suspect more do than will admit) your wait is over.
Hehe. I wrote up an article about the truth of Google’s PR on 14thC today. The absurdity of the hype does boggle.
Though to tell the truth I was happy for this update. Now 14thC has some PR. Good. Now people that don’t know that it doesn’t mean anything will trust me. I hope. Now I can move on to better SEO projects. Hooray!
