I'm not a dev; but I strongly agree that you get it out ASAP - I almost upgraded two days ago :-)

Yup - I wouldn't be surprised if within a few hours 80% of the concerned users will have already installed it. Even if you send out the news now anybody who synced overnight wouldn't get it in time anyway. Might not hurt to log a blocker bug just to track the news item the next time you consider a major upgrade like this. Then you don't actually stabilize anything until AFTER the news goes out. :)

Thanks for the wording, I've somewhat made it a bit stronger. @Dev, please ACK or NAK or whatever. Thanks Title: Migration to X.org Server 1.6 and libxcb 1.4 Author: Remi Cardona Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2009-10-02 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: We're pleased to announce the stabilization of xorg-server-1.6.

Basically, all stable users should see that news item. Thanks in advance to the benevolent soul who will write it and commit it :) Thanks Perhaps something simple like this? (HTH): xorg-server 1.6. We're pleased to announce the stabilization of xorg-server-1.6. Users should review the following two guides before upgrading to 1.6: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/xorg-server-1.6-upgrade-guide.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml
