Normally I don't comment on unreleased software, but in this case I
wouldn't want anyone to lose any sleep over this issue.
All the versions of the "new" Finder that I have used let you place icons
on the desktop, and I don't expect this to change.
(Perhaps the "reliable" source was referring to some other program that
also uses icons. I just saw such a program; it had icons like the Finder,
but did not allow you to place icons on the desktop because that feature
was not yet implemented.)
