The timeframe was wrong, but Apple is still very much moving in the same direction. Write your apps the way they want you to, or else.
I think the message is "Write your apps in the most modern way, or else they won't work on new releases of our operating system which is removing support for depreciated techniques and technologies."
This still has nothing to do with non-App-Store applications being blocked in any way. It's more like dropping support for Power PC chips in favor of Intel, dropping old frameworks, and that kind of thing.
