ICQ nicknames and [COMPAD]

Just now, in my ICQ, which I use through Miranda IM, the mysterious [COMPAD] has been added to my nickname. A quick glance at the contact list showed that many also had such an additive.
It seems that ICQ is preparing to switch to the multi-protocol ComPad client , which they themselves are developing. Or they decided to rank all the "alternative engineers" as ComPad users.
