At least they are being more realistic. If you extrapolate the (updated) chart below, you'll see that someone who filed in 8/17 might expect to wait roughly 465 days for his/her interview. 
Hope yours is shorter than that...

So the oath ceremony came and went and now the next phase of my life as a US citizen begins... As others have reported, the ceremony was very rewarding (apart from a totally cringe-worthy video clip from you-know-who..) I skipped the passport line at the end, which looked like it might take a long time, and will pop into the local USPS office tomorrow. 
 
Many thanks to all the contributors to this thread for advice and encouragement. I just wish that more of the 1,500 people who took the oath today in Oakland had joined it.
To those of you still waiting, your turn will come, even though the delays are getting longer and longer. (By the way, the head guy at SF USCIS actually apologized about this during his speech.)
Meanwhile, this is JandMA signing off...

No, my GC was unconditional, I guess the missus and me had been married for long enough. My interview's this Friday 4/19 so fingers crossed. Hope yours gets scheduled soon...

Just got the notice that my interview has been scheduled, but the letter giving the actual date of the interview has not yet appeared in my documents folder. My guess is third week of April.
For those of you still waiting, the notice came 361 days after I filed and 28 days after my counter went to zero. 
Interestingly the email was sent at 3.10 am PST, so I doubt that it was sent by a real person.

likewise, my [afternoon] ceremony went smoothly. there were no street parking so I ended up going to the ACE parking garage nearby that charges $2 per 15 minutes and ended up spending $20. I need to figure out how to invest in parking garages near the paramount theater. it was my first time in the paramount theater and it's a beautiful space. I was struck by how low the security was which makes sense since the whole thing was really a celebration with live music and welcomes and congratulations. I guess for me anything with USCIS has always felt so strict with metal detectors and checking of IDs and forms that I wasn't used to this. my spouse, daughter, mother in law, and brother in law had to sit upstairs in the balcony and unfortunately I was in the back downstairs so they couldn't see me the entire time and I couldn't change seats since they give out the certificates based on your row number. the usher was super nice though and let my daughter sit with me so it didn't feel like a complete waste that my family came along. I too did not submit my passport application afterwards -- the line was huge so I was happy I had decided against it.
 
someone shared a story to me about a friend of his that was at a different oath ceremony. apparently he had a ticket for staying late at lake Anza. on one of the questions (on the back of the oath ceremony notice) about if you've had a ticket since your interview he answered [truthfully] yes but they couldn't find it on their database since it's a local park that issued the ticket. apparently it delayed his naturalization a whole year. I have no way of verifying the story but I don't know why they would make it up. I guess they take the final questionnaire on the back of the notice seriously!
 
good luck to everyone else on this thread. your day will come. and it will go smoothly too.

So the ceremony came and went, and I'm now a US citizen! I didn't stick around to submit a passport app afterward, though, so I'm going to have to drop by the post office sometime.

Nope - my countdown went to zero on Feb 12, and now I just get the message "We are taking longer than expected to process your case. You do not need to do anything at this time". I'll post it whenever I do hear.
 
By the way, for those of you who've already passed the interview and are waiting for a date for the ceremony, here's the schedule at the Paramount in Oakland from their website:
