Interesting, I don't remember that at all.
I can only speculate about this, but I don't think this announcement is
relevant any more. The document is from July 2009 and predicted/promised
a squeeze release in early 2010. For that case only the authors promised
that you could skip the squeeze release. What actually happened is that
it took another whole year to release squeeze.
