The big whoop turns out to be nothing more that the 1880 census is finally indexed (thanks to the LDS CD) and connected to the images.
Like anyone cares. The entire census has been available free on the LDS site for a long time and you can own your own copy for $50. Granted, it's transcribed, not the images.
AC users have been screaming for Ancestry to finish work on the 1860, 1870 and WWII draft cards for over a year and this is the best they could do.
