Google Maps API team joke

Google Maps API rolled out unpleasant joke on April 1st day.
Google Maps javascript stopped working today.

There is a quick fix available: switching back to older, more carefully tested version.
(from "v=2.x" to "v=2").

There is a good lesson here: don't use the latest "bleeding edge" version of the code in production environment. Even if it comes from Google.

Technical details are here:
