Christine at 23andMe has posted a change to the tratment of "close Relatives" [1st cousins and closer] in DNA Relatives.
Prior to tonight you had to opt-in to "Show Close Relatives" if you wanted to see 1st cousins or closer relatives in DNA Relatives. As of tonight everyone will show Close Relative unless you opt-out of DNA Relatives. More details are available in the News and Announcement forum at 23andMe:

While this is a much wanted feature change for genealogists and adoptees, some people may not want to know about previously unknown siblings or children, birth-parents, etc.
The On-line Journal of Genetics and Genealogy will highlight the connections between the science of Y and X chromosome, mitochondrial, and autosomal DNA analysis and genealogy. Reference will be made to scientific and genealogy articles which complement each other and advance the study of recent family history and ancient human migrations.
