No, the changes weren't announced. It's just one of many everyday cleanup or
maintenance efforts in the set DB. (I'm even surprised anyone noticed. :)
LEGO officially uses the term "Classic" for the original SW trilogy (Episodes
IV-VI, that is), so the old category names in the DB were wrong. (And the
curly braces {} signified that we knew it was an unofficial categorization
but didn't yet know the official categorization.)
I think it's kinda unfortunate that LEGO chose to call Episodes IV-VI
"Classic" when Episode I gets its own whole designation. At the very least
they coulda called it "Episodes IV-VI"... Anyway... Call me A/R. :-)

Nah, only if someone had links to the old canned theme-search queries, which
looked frighteningly dubious and not very link-friendly before:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+I%7D
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+IV%7D
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+V%7D
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,%7BEpisode+VI%7D
A side-effect of getting rid of the {}'s is that the new URLs for those DB
queries are slightly more human-friendly:
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,Episode+I
http://www.lugnet.com/pause/search/?theme=LEGO,SYSTEM,Star+Wars,Classic
although I wouldn't say they're link-friendly just yet (more on that in a
couple days).
If someone had bookmarks on the old queries, I apologize for any inconveninece
caused by the renaming of the subcategories.
