Not Displaying Pagerank, Google PR Score Removed?

Pagerank is a pretty bogus metric for assessing the quality/popularity of a website or webpage.
Even so, I still compulsively check the PR of most sites I visit through the Quirk Search Status Plugin for Firefox. Today, however, I noticed every site/page I visited (other than Google) returned a PR value of “unranked”. When I actually needed to know I could still retrieve the data using SEOForFirefox from SEOBook.
I did a quick blog search for Not Displaying Pagerank and found a few discussions as to whether Google was likely to stop showing pagerank scores sometime soon. Unless it’s just my plugin playing up then it would seem to be the case.
What do you think of Google not showing PR Score? Good thing or bad thing?
UPDATE: Seven or eight hours after posting this I got home and I can see PageRank scores just fine. I’m using the same plugin on my home machine and I don’t understand why this was happening to me at work.
