This is true, but right before the conference Cisco changed their mind
(a Cisco person was going to co-present the information even) and didn't
want the information released (because they were still working on the
problem, so they say). All the pages were removed from the bulk
information given to attendees and he was told to talk about another
subject. He then decided he wasn't going to do this...it would seem.

This is how I understand it anyways.
