I'm going to have to side with Alex on this one. The APIs should be protected by OAuth and that is what should be pushed out and the basic auth deprecated. What I don't really understand is why it has taken until now to promote OAuth. I understand OAuth is an evolving standard, but it has been around for quite a while.

At least this will raise awareness of OAuth's existance - it's finally made it to the mainstream media.
