Team,

We need to get news items out, on gentoo.org, in the GWN and on the 
forums or everyone with an old portage will be unhappy. Some users will 
still be unhappy anyway but we can point to the news and say we tried 
to tell you. If link [2] will be around for a while, we can us it in an 
mzbot factoid too.

No objections ... just plenty of publicity.
