 You should probably post that in a more user-oriented channel, like
 gentoo-announce and/or the forums to reduce the number of surprised
 users [1]

 Or even write a short summary for the GWN...they would be happy about
it.

Ok, haven't seen the thread, but it's probably a very good idea to
post something to -announce / forums anyway. I'll do that later today.

We'll also move the date of masking to Oct 18th, so that the wider
userbase has one full week time to prepare for the masking as well. :)

I already submitted something on the same day I sent the
-dev{,-announce} mail.
