It's also an interview that is nearly a year old, far before they pushed PvP off of release day. Many of the newer interviews and comments about PvP show a much greater focus on infrastructure for it (which is what I mentioned above) including the final Dev Diary they published in the run-up to D3s release:
(~3:00ish)
That's why I was trying to find the other one I saw that was more recent. =) However, even in that old one I linked, there was still talk of infrastructure for PvP to help enable PvP more in D3 than it was in D2 and D1 (well, consensual pvp). There's quite a difference between making sure you have something available for folks who enjoy that and really supporting the fanatics. They had systems in place for variant play in 1 and 2, but they didn't really focus on it. It's a similar situation to me. We'll just have to see what the players will do when it finally hits. =)
