Adsense allows revealing of total income earned

Just looking over the new Adsense rules of use which were also released today and I noticed this in the confidentiality statement which SEEMS to indicate that we can now talk about the total of what we earn. It might be worth checking with Adsense before you do this publicly - but it seems to be a change.
