I was spending some office time at the nearby Starbucks today and this was on the wall.
Apparently this past fall they announced that this was coming, a lighter roast. I guess this is for people who don't like their beans burnt, which many feel that Starbucks tends to do. (I happen to enjoy their coffee).
So for all you people out there that cry, "Starbucks coffee is too strong!!!", maybe you can join the rest of us at the nearest Starbucks. (But hopefully not, it's already too tough to get a table.)
It's important to note the distinction between the roast and the brew strength. Regardless of the roast (light or dark), you can brew a stronger cup of coffee by using more beans and longer brew times. The roast has more to do with the flavor. A darker roast can have a stronger taste, but not necessarily be a stronger brew.
What, I think too much about this stuff? Probably.

In seven days, I'll give it a go and report back.
