No such announcement was ever made.  What Mark announced was that
Objective-C bugs would not be treated as release-critical.  What this does
is to impose a time limit on getting Objective-C bug fixes into the
compiler.  It may well be that all remaining Objective-C problems get
fixed before 4.0.0 goes out.  If not, there's still the opportunity to fix
them for 4.0.1.
