Actually it is Icomplete mode that is intended to replace IswitchB mode.
`C-h N' (NEWS) shows this:
** Obsolete packages
+++
*** iswitchb.el; use icomplete-mode.
(And yes, the doc string for `iswitchb-mode' mentions `ido-mode' also.)
IMO, you *should* be able to nevertheless continue to use IswitchB as
before, if you like: deprecation should not immediately remove the
functionality from the product.
However, you cannot even get the package from the GNU package archive -
it was simply removed. You can still find it, though - here, for example:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/iswitchb.el
