A380 into Oakland

That's new. Either Lufthansa is operating an A380 to Oakland or the one that normally lands at SFO got diverted. I just saw it on finals coming down into Oakland, just after 1pm local time.

Can't see a reason anywhere, I would assume something happened at SFO?

ETA: FlightAware suggests DLH454 made an attempt at SFO and then changed its mind and came into Oakland instead. It landed from the north, so I wonder if the wind at SFO was outside limits (too much tailwind?)
