Thanks, Lars. Yes, I will write the blog posts, et. al. It won't hurt us to issue it over the newswire service. Once Uli clarified this, the type of announcement (format) became clearer to me.
I still have to get the thing written, so I'll be getting cracking soon. The Struts EOL announcement goes out in 20 minutes.
