Old rankings are gone and new system is in use : http://www.alexa.com/site/company/announcement Regards, ASHISH T.
this has already been mentioned in other threads......my own site had huge gains under the new system!
Yes, Alexa ranking updation is in progress but I don't think that Amazon is going to make it accurate software/application for traffic status. Many people use this alexa ranking to check only traffic and it gives totally fake traffic report. I do not believe in Alexa at all.
This change is a welcoming change. I think Alexa at last is talking some sense by penalizing all the webmaster related sites including Dp, sitepoint etc whose ranking were exaggerated to the power infinity. There new ranking seems to take traffic into account and this time around it seems that not only people using the alexa tool is the only measure. Well done Alexa!

I don't see any alexa ranking changes for any of my sites. They are still showing the old rankings. Maybe it may take some time to update.
Don't optimize or market for rankings. You only set yourself up to algo changes and bounces when the big boys want to play around.
