The goal is to try not to ship GPL'd code in 10. The goal is not to ship 10 without GPL'd code if that results in a broken system. The goal also as articulated at different forum, was for Tier 1 systems. Tier 2 and 3 systems may use GPL code as a fallback if the non-gpl'd code doesn't work on those platforms. That is to say, it is a goal, not an absolute requirement.
