I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that this is not an official announcement from Google. It is merely an updated KB page.

Google is treating .io as gccTLD for at least 6 months.

Where did you get "6 months" from?

lubos on May 7, 2013 | [–]

I own .IO domain and I was able to set it as gccTLD in Google Webmasters Tool for at least last 6 months (but not when I registered it more than 2 years ago).

Not to mention my .io domain ranks quite well for my keywords across all national google front-ends for quite some time.
