For those interested the start of a Google index update was reported 
late March 23 (last Wednesday night) and is still propagating. A page 
rank update is expected this weekend as well.

Many people seem to think the impact of "no follow" will show in this 
update. One analysis showed 5% of the sites in DMOZ had nofollows on 
them, suggesting "no follow" it would have a very large impact on rankings.

There are also many reports of changes to the way back links are valued. 
I would wait another week before assuming anything was stable.
