My understanding is that 4.0 was meant to be a libraries-are-frozen app-developers-are-go release from long before the actual release date. It's just a shame that everyone was so used to this that they didn't think to mention it in the release notes!

'Redefine' implies post-facto. This is more like 'define'.
