I don't remember any exact quotes, but I remember reading something to that effect.
My understanding of this was that the GDC was hoping to finish the games a year early so that they had a year to work out the kinks of the game. In a perfect world, this would lead to more available game pieces (gives enough time to create an appropriate supply chain), a better rule book (you really shouldn't need to send an update out a week after kick-off), and a more spectator friendly game.
