I'm assuming you are talking about the Vayne changes? You should read a few lines down

"no, they're not completely gone but since we're cutting it close on our 'time budget' for this cycle they're considered something that we'd pick up when have time to finish them. i'm primarily focused on udyr right now, but made some time to kick off some vayne explorations and did some scripting groundwork to make it very easy for anyone to pick her up again as time allows (which could be me or another person on my team). so, we still have vayne changes in internal testing but they won't show up on pbe until we're sure we'll have time to wrap them up -- could be this patch or next, could be after worlds. for anyone curious about the changes, the direction that seems promising is removing the ability to crit tumble's bonus damage in exchange for a solid amount of power elsewhere (currently testing an increase to Q's damage ratio as well as the W changes that were on pbe already). absolutely everything is subject to change of course, but that's currently what we're looking into."

They liked the changes, but don't have the time to properly test them. They are still on the internal testing and they are even testing a buff to q ratio on top of the previous changes.

Basically, they did consider the changes to be in the right direction, despite all the bitching the boards put up, and they'll probably be coming back.
