Thanks for the feedback Sean. In my experience, it doesn't matter if
you give users a week, a month, or a year to switch - the majority
won't until their first password-based deploy fails. And to be clear -
all a user has to do is log in to Clojars, create a token, and use the
token string in place of their Clojars password, which shouldn't be to
onerous. Clojars will respond with a status message that briefly
explains the issue and links to the wiki if a password is used after
the switchover.

That said, I have no strong attachment to switching over on June 27th
- I would be open to discussing other dates. If someone does want to
argue for a later date, please file an issue at
https://github.com/clojars/clojars-web/issues/new?template=issue.md
and we can chat there.

It looks like Erik has already updated the deps-deploy documentation
(thanks Erik!).
