I think we are pretty much screwed if a group of smart burglars finds a way to predict the "predictive policing". Or will this remedy include protection against prediction of predicting predictive patterns? ^^

If it does, I guess we've solved the mystery of how to make sure a photo is actually removed from Facebook instead of just removed from your profile and stored away in some archive forever...

It's not like they want to store your photos of disputable value. Update operations on server's HDD are simply faster than delete operations. So FB just marks photos as unused (instead of actually deleting files). How often do they purge the unused content, is another question.

How about having four granddads and no grandmas? I'm sure men are all good with woodworking and stuff, but who would cook the soup for grandgaylings?

That's not the main reason to change it. As of February 1st, PHP4 is dead. It would be just about time to rewrite the code to PHP5, as there will be no more security updates after August 8th. Then it's really dead.
