So Why assume removal of Classes?

That post means that you would be a terrible game designer.

If the job you are talking about is blue mage then you are wrong, you can add it in the game right now even with the current pattern of class/job ( that is not going to be the same considering how ninjas are ). There are no limitations in the class system, except the diversity in kinds of weapon, which can be fixed easily, but they don't want to.

Ya that basically what I am thinking how Yoshi-P and the developers plan to handle things.

They may keep class system in 3.0 but adjust it a bit for Summoner and Scholar sake.

Then from 3.0 and beyond they will continue to add new Jobs into the game but the New Jobs will be Stand Alone Jobs that do not require a class.

This way they will no longer need to create new classes for every new Job in FF14 while still keeping the current classes in the game.

In short, they don't need to remove classes but they will simply make new Jobs that don't require classes just like how they're handling Dark Knight.

As of now we still do not know much about how they will handle things in 3.0. All we know is that Dark knight do not require a class and can be obtained once players obtain the expansion. There is little info about how we will obtain Dark Knight in the game currently.
