I'd like to avoid adding it to the FAQ if possible because I'm not certain people will think to look there if they find something that looks incomplete on Discourse. Adding it to the banner would certainly work, but might feel like we're advertising it a bit TOO much at that point. Perhaps a pinned post in just the forums that replace a mailing list? That is a bit more work when we decide the information is no longer needed, but maybe it strikes a reasonable balance? Either way, I'm happy enough with *something* along the lines you propose here. Based on that, I don't think further changes are needed on this patch, so it LGTM. Thank you for your patience @SimplyDanny while we worked these details out, and thank you again for updating the docs!
