The date has been confirmed for over a month. Release time schedules is not on the Steam news page, however, this is secondary information to the actual date. Release/activation date is Midnight, 11/16 PDT. Just as any other release is effective at 12:01 local time of the release date. The time tables were put up after Valve confirmed that Midnight, RMT (Redmond Mean Time :)) would be the basis for release and activation.
As for the enormity of the news, this has been posted on csnation, Steampowered, hlfallout.net, hlaflife2.net.... I think the importance of the timetable has been done justice, perhaps you just weren't paying attention.
