Not true.
Which part? Everything you said corresponds with something I said.
The incoming connections part, not being a full node, and pruning not being helpful in the short term.
But as it stands with 0.11 currently right now.. It does not relay blocks that was the point? We were saying it hopefully will in 0.12
A pruned node version 0.11.2
# accepts incoming connections
# relays and verifies blocks
# relays and verifies transactions
# can not have a wallet
# does not provide old blocks to nodes catching up to the current blockheight
-snip-
The lack of incoming connections/not full-node part comes from the 0.12 release notes, so I'm not too sure what to think about that (possibly that the text is correct). I'm not sure what you mean about pruning not being helpful in the short-term, it depends on whose perspective you're looking from. As a blanket statement, I didn't make it.
Are there release notes already? Can you give us/me a link, I was unable to find them.
