So the question is did they officially do that, or is it just the creator's opinion?

Just the creator's opinion, I'm afraid.

Wizards of the Coast has a notoriously restrictive policy against revising published material through errata, ie no matter how many people keep making "fighter/sorcerer/whatever are underpowered" threads, they will never actually release an update that changes them.

For example, a lot of people complain that the hexblade is underpowered, especially after the duskblade was published. The author of the hexblade, well-respected Mike Mearls, agrees that the hexblade is probably underpowered, and recommends some of these fixes (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=10585113&postcount=11), but WotC will never turn them into official errata.
