I wonder why we write news announcements about these things. People don't seem to read them and ask anyway, so why bother writing the news?
How about because I read and therefore ask less, and same for several other people? And am informed ahead-of-time what is likely to break -- an irreplaceable service. Also the news means that when people *do* ask, you can answer with a one-line link to the news instead of explaining it again. Seems like a most efficient system. (Not that questions about things that were recently in the news are a good thing!)
