I have on more than one occasion ran into people referencing this series under the new canon policy despite the fact that that when the new EU was announced it was not included.
While Lucasfilm always strived to keep the stories created for the EU consistent with our film and television content as well as internally consistent, Lucas always made it clear that he was not beholden to the EU. He set the films he created as the canon. This includes the six Star Wars episodes, and the many hours of content he developed and produced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. These stories are the immovable objects of Star Wars history, the characters and events to which all other tales must align.
No mention of the 2003-5 series. Though Rebels is of course also canon given that it followed the changes.

I thought that was settled long ago.

Yea it was settled when they announced they were wipping th EU. What do you expect? The executive producer didnt know the name of Yavin during the battle between Anakin and Ventress in the rain on the commentary.

Plus the events were all written over in Episode III and The Clone Wars

I fail to see why everybody is all that hot and bothered about the 2003 CW. The visuals were atrocious and nothing else in it was good enough to compensate for that.
