Maybe having a reminder of the debian-security-support package would be
in order instead then? We could outline a few key packages in there.
I think it's important that our users are aware that LTS is not magical,
and urge them to upgrade to jessie. I understand the announce is more
about the arm port, but there were still things under discussion when
LTS was open for wheezy that have been settled since. Maybe it would be
worth rehashing those...
Otherwise I'm fine with the announcement as well.
