The Oxford Comma. Say it ain't so...

Oxford Writing and Style Guide no longer recommending the Oxford comma?  WTF?  Can someone get to the bottom of this?  http://kottke.org/11/06/ditching-the-oxford-comma

They've tried to make me stop reading my books, listening to my vinyl records, playing cards, conversing in real life, and now this affront.  "They" have drawn a line in the sand, nary I shall cross.   I am your staunch supporter and life long friend, little Oxford comma, you who separate the men from the boys, the wheat from the chaff, the riff from the raff. 

What say you people of the blogosphere? Are you with me or agin me?
