Nothing has been said about Frostbite.

For everyone's information, this is what has been said about Frost Nova:
Q u o t e:
The change affects Frost Nova. Frozen targets were never intended to be frozen after a critical. However, the usage of Ice Lance made it very noticeable that being frozen was persisting through being crit, whereas normal damage had a chance to break the state. By insuring that a crit will break the frozen state, back to back crits from Ice Lance won't be occurring and such spikes in damage disappear.

Q u o t e:
However, I'm pretty sure they're determined to eliminate chain-critting on a frozen target. Ice Lance wasn't the sole reason for this, per se, it just became such standard behaviour that it illustrated the fact that crit damage didn't necessarily break the effect.

Q u o t e:
Tseric, do you know if all crits break Frost Nova, or just mage crits?

From what I've heard, it is on any crit.
