Thanks, Jarek, for bringing up this. I do agree this is very important, and quite many users may be surprised by this even though the timeline has been decided & announced quite a long time ago.
Yep, let's make this information more explicit. Among what you have nicely listed, the following two may be good starting point: - banner on our website & GitHub README - campaign through Social Media (maybe our Airflow official twitter account can rolle out a post then folks try to retweet? For LinkedIn, I don't think we have an official account, but everyone can post to their own network) Given it's just ~1 month to go, I suggest we prioritize this a little bit.
