Thoughts of google not updating PR toolbar

What are your thoughts of google not updating the PR toolbar?
So many people rely on it to evaluate websites. As time goes on with no update, good sites that could have good PR will be looked at as bad sites to link on or outreach to. With google continuing not to make an official announcement, people will continue to rely on this method of checking how much a website is worth to them.
Just to make this clear, I know a lot of people don't use PR to evaluate a site but I also know a lot of writers who don't follow SEO as much will use PR to check if your site is good or not. I just feel it would be nicer to have it officially announced that they are removing it or keeping it.

Apparently google had no comment at the moment.

So can I
I just noticed this as an affect when trying to find content for my site. The site I was getting content for has amazing content already and is getting 8,000+ visits a month. But I had really good guest bloggers refusing to write on it because my PR was not updated even though my Domain Authority is pretty good.
This is why it came to me that either google needs to make an announcement of the removal or update it.
-
Well, I can think of another company that releases metrics at least monthly which reflect a measurement that is similar to Pagerank.
-
I am hoping that it is an issue where they have been slow to update it because they were dealing with the secure searches and Russian spam ring. Hopefully they are not trying to change everything on us at once.

[UPDATED] Any Q&A Regulars Attending MozCon Next Week?
[Update] Between here and the MozCon Facebook Group we've got a number of folks interested, so we're going to grab a table together for lunch on Tuesday at the conference. I'll try to mark it with something noticeable, or you can tweet me @thompsonpaul and I'll let you know where to find us. Hope to see lots of us there! [/Update] Hey gang - I'm wondering which Q&A regular (or irregular!) contributors are coming to MozCon next week? I know Dana Tan and Marie Haynes are for sure. So who else is coming? If there's a bit of a gang of us, it would be fun to connect up for a lunch table or a drink at some point during the event to meet each other face-to-face. Let me know in the comments, and if there are enough of us, I'll set something up. Paul

Web page is showing up on Google but doesn't show when it was cached, so is it indexed?
I was working on the structure and content on the new site and I set the robots.txt to disallow. When i finished i set the robots.txt file to allow again but its been a week but someone the changes are not been index in google and when i check the cached it say 404 error in google, i think the robots.txt file it ok but not sure why my old pages got indexed and why its taking a long time for the new pages to get index. On webmaster in my sitemap it show 26 submited and 1 index, and on block url it shows that it has downloaded the robots.txt file 12 hours ago. i cant figure out if there is some issues with the site , Can anyone have a look at it please. http://www.willowstairlifts.co.uk/robots.txt
