1. I saw it in a tweet that was captured and posted either here or at TFN by someone from Lucasfilms (Dave Filoni?). I'm not going to be able to link because it was weeks ago and is lost to me.

2. The point is that I was answering the OP... "What do you hate about the EU?" answer being, that people continue to take it seriously after it has been rendered a pile of pro fan fic, referring back to the "nothing counts anymore" nature of the tweet to which I referred.

Again, no such announcement was ever made.

What was announced is that the tiered classification system for the EU has been eliminated. Now whether it be movie, game or book they're all equal in the Star Wars canon now. With this, some material will most likely be labeled completely non-canon but what that material is has not been announced.

Exactly.

Everything made from here on out is either canon or non-canon. What remains to be seen is whether they'll leave the existing EU intact as canon or if it will retroactively be rendered non-canon or a toss up of both.

The biggest deciding factor is gonna be just how much Abrams and Kasdan care about the post-RotJ continuity. If their script for Episode VII is conveniently compatible with the books, great. If not, then I doubt they'd want to change even a single thing about the movie just to make it fit.

The tweet Kilroy refers to was from Pablo Hidalgo back in December. It caused quite a stir because he basically said the only things that were ever "canon" are the movies and the clone wars series. In other words "only what's up on screen." Everything else in this model is merely "continuity."
