Today is still 4/1, so I'm going to wait until at least tomorrow before I form an opinion on this.
As will I, but those look like legit release notes and not a joke. Nothing jumps out as too good to be true or just bizarre.

ROMs to turn portable-mp3-players libre.
Great project, congrats to devs on the 4.0 milestone!

EXTRA:
Just found this post that outlines the initial efforts/hacks, to port Rockbox to the iPod.
