I'd say not to have this as a separate announcement on its own, it's not that significant in itself. Instead, I'd just make it a section of the next Frameworks release announcement (and future ones too) saying something like: "KF5 Porting Aids. The Frameworks team have futher refined the Framework classification model and have identified a new group called the KF5 Porting Aids. These are Frameworks containing kdelibs4 modules and api that are being deprecated in KF5 and are provided only to assist applications in porting across to KF5. As such these Frameworks will only have a limited support period, currently planned to be three release cycles. Applications are strongly encouraged to port away from these Frameworks during this support period to prevent dependency on obsolete and unsupported code. Once support is ended, some unofficial development may continue on some modules, but they will not be part of the officially supported Frameworks release. The Frameworks belonging to this group are: blah blah blah.
