I propose a slow migration. Announce once a week that people should follow @fedora on both accounts and check the numbers of followers on the old account. When the number is down enough, announce a final "this account will soon be discontinued". But I would keep both synced forever minus a day. Doesn't cost us, so why bother too much?

Someone suggested this to me elsewhere. Leaving aside the issue of whether Twitter would help do this at all, the question I had was, would we run a risk of people thinking we were violating some sort of norm or etiquette by changing their subscription without permission? If we were Nike, I'd bet no one would care. Fedora's follower crowd probably has different expectations than Nike fans. -- Paul W.
