I'll use the note approach.

take this sentence out entirely--most users wont' know or care about the
back-end technology

"As part of the migration to the Apache servers we will be switching from
the SYMPA mailing list manager to ezmlm, which the rest of Apache uses."

the rest reads OK without it.

Take out Note items #1, and #4.

Keep things as simple as possible would be my advice.
Pretty good though. Let's just hope they actually do read the whole thing.
