What would you want posted? AFAIK, there isn't a clear path to what
needs to be done by the users yet. I'm currently under the impression
that users won't need to do anything except for regular updates (for
0.27 users), as it will be fixed in source.

That said, I'm still waiting on feedback for my patch that fixes the
DNS change (currently available for 0.27 on 14.04)
