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
