Coincidentally, there is an active vote going on in Maven land to desupport Maven 1. It won't be final until tomorrow, I believe, but it was gotten overwhelming votes.
I don't think we need any announcement to desupport Struts 1. However, we shouldn't wipe Struts 1 off the site. Every company I've been a part of -- to this day! -- still uses Struts 1 intensively. The documentation has to be available for people to use. And no one will find the documentation without links to it. So if anyone was thinking we can remove Struts 1 from our site, I would kindly suggest we keep it around. We can demote its visible presence but we need links still so search engines can find the documentation.
