Do not worry, the patch will never be made public. And yes, I am sure he fixed it without any hidden credentials, because I saw the patch.
As for the "logical explanation to the situation". I never said it was not logical, but the "explanation" was first given 10+ days before the official one, so it classifies as a guess for me. And do not forget the fact that, 10+ days ago, all other apps had proper access to the api anonymously.
Bottom line, now that there is an official statement on the issue, i will consider making a set of credentials on the site, provided that I can delete them whenever I wish in the future.
