I believe this is the document in question.

What I read into it:

Google became a domain name registrar to see if domains were being registered for one year - i.e. throwaway domains.

There is a 'mass' detector -- a new site that grows links slowly seems to be more preferred than one that pops up overnight and has thousands of links to it.

There appears to be something regarding content growth that might be related to time. i.e. a page that shows up that suddenly has hundreds of outlinks might tag it as spam.

Basically, they have studied how non-spam pages grow, and pretty much made sure their engine watches those threshholds. I don't know that I would call it a sandbox, but, age and organic growth appears to have some influence. I don't think a site created today has any penalty applied if it grows with a few inbound links and has content. A site that shows up with 15000 inbound links overnight might be penalized -- but then, if a site was 4 years old and was adding 8-10 links a month and suddenly adds 15000 links would be subject to the same penalty.

At least, that's how I'm reading it.
