Of course it has, now we have "dark" forces acting on Pioneer
to explain it.

Good one, I forgot that anomaly!
Anyway, don't panic. If it results that's not a systematic,
but new physics, then there are always the imaginative
relativists, to the rescue of GR, proposing a new "dark stuff"
to explain it :-)
