News item for ABI switch

[Wolfgang Jährling]

Hi!

Marcus, is this news item ok with you? (Most of the text was taken from
the discussion on debian-hurd).

<DD>We are about to make the switch to libio in the Debian GNU/Hurd
archive now.  The old stdio `hurd-i386' binaries are removed already, so
that we can begin uploading.  What this means for you is that when
packages start to reappear, it is probably best to wipe out your system
and re-install.  No effort has been made to make this an easy
transition.  Please wait until we uploaded the Debian packages and the
mirrors got them.  It can only be a matter of days.
</P>

Cheers,
GNU/Wolfgang
