Here's v2 of the news item.
I tried to address the concern with showing this news item to anyone with 
catalyst and not only running catalyst-9999. If anyone insists, I don't 
mind restricting the news item to 9999, in which case I'll drop the note 
about this only affecting 9999.

+After a long period on "life support", the catalyst repository is
+going to have major changes introduced to master in the next few days.
+The work done in the rewrite branch[1] by Brian Dolbec, is finally
+going to be merged into master through the pending branch[2].
+Anyone using catalyst to produce stages is advised to use the latest
+release (currently 2.0.16). If you need to track the stable branch,
+please use the catalyst 2.0.9999 ebuild that tracks the 2.X branch.
+Anyone wanting to help with catalyst development and testing is
+encouraged to use the 9999 version and report issues to the catalyst
+team, pending the understanding that master may be broken during the
+next few months. Please report any issues to our bugzilla[3]. You
+can always find us in the #gentoo-releng irc channel of freenode.
+To be clear, these changes will only affect catalyst-9999 and the
+master branch of the repository. If you're not using either, this
+doesn't affect you.
