I'm sorry, I don't follow.  Are you referring to the post about the
email forwarder, or the overall migration status wiki page?

If we have any specific instructions for extension/template authors
that we want them to do now, or any special hint we want to give them,
then this note is a great place to get that out.  Or we could do that
as a 2nd announcement later.  If I understand Roberto's latest note,
they believe they can manage with the shutdown of the forwarding
service.
