27 Team,

29 We need to get news items out, on gentoo.org, in the GWN and on the
30 forums or everyone with an old portage will be unhappy. Some users will
31 still be unhappy anyway but we can point to the news and say we tried
32 to tell you. If link [2] will be around for a while, we can us it in an
33 mzbot factoid too.
34
35 No objections ... just plenty of publicity.
