Is there something notable about this block like a change in mining reward?

With a relatively controlled block rate of 6/hour, can't we predict when almost any block will be mined?

The long term averages are showing slightly more than 6 per hour. Over the short term the spacing between blocks varies pretty wildly. I sure would not want to rely on a clock powered by Bitcoin block times :-)
