Google Big Daddy Update complete

Hi according to Matt Cutts the BigDaddy update is fully deployed at every data centre.

He states on his blog that: "Yes, I believe every data center now has the Bigdaddy upgrade in software infrastructure, as of this weekend" (27 March 2006)

Also answering this question re the Mozilla Googlebot;

Q: “What’s the story on the Mozilla Googlebot? Is that what Bigdaddy sends out?”
A: Yes, I believe so. You will probably see less crawling by the older Googlebot, which has a User-Agent of “Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)”. I believe crawling from the Bigdaddy infrastructure has a new User-Agent, which is “Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)”
