Notch has a track record of announcing things he wouldnt add

I am still waiting for fortress mode to be added to Minecraft, for the planned dlc and for the game to be licensed under an open source license

Yes, the DLC we were promised for life for buying it during alpha.

Did they ever actually specify what they meant with that promise?

I mean, datapacks ARE a modding API. Not the kind we would have liked to see, but if a modding api is all they promised, then they did deliver on that.
It's called data-driven modding, and not exactly a rare approach among official modding APIs.
