Bukkit team joins Mojang to help with Mod API

It's official, the Bukkit team is joing Mojang! There are several mentioned reasons for this move, like "official support for the game, better resources to develop Bukkit further - as well as the ability to develop tools, mod support and more which can be officially integrated into the game." Bukkit developer EvilSeph stated his opinion about this change of course, saying "When news broke out about Mojang organising a Minecon, the entire community was alight with excitement and anticipation....we were able to go to Minecon, have a great time and put together a panel filled with our fans, as well as sneak off to a secret meeting with Mojang."

I can't wait for whatever Mojang and Bukkit reveal next, but it will most likely relate to the Mod API Mojang has promised the community (that still hasn't arrived). But hopefully they won't steal that poor walrus's bucket.
