Which press release are you referring to? The recent one on WAAS
(http://www2.faa.gov/index.cfm/apa/1062?id=1756) reads, in part:

"Once avionics are certified to receive the system's full capability,
WAAS will allow precision instrument approaches at thousands
of runways at airports and airstrips that have little or no
ground-based landing capability," said FAA Administrator
Marion C. Blakey."

but doesn't contain the term "sole means". The people I know in FAA
Flight
Standards avoid using the term because its meaning isn't clear (though
the
FAA doesn't seem to mind ambiguity in many other cases).

GPS will not be certified for 'sole means.'

Did and done, Parmet. The VORs are going away.
