Attached is the updated news item. It addresses 3 issues brought up
(two on list one off):
1) authorship - I've added another line for the entire hardened team.
I've kept my name in there because I'm the point person for the work.
2) bug tracking - I refer at the end to a bug which will track the
progress so the user can look to see where we are in the processs
3) I reworded it slightly to emphasis that the user should wait until
the profile change is made on his/her arch before switching the profiles
(ie they should not switch proactively)
I'm shooting for Nov 13 to release it.

Title: Restructuring of Hardened profiles
Author: Anthony G. Basile <blueness@gentoo.org>
Author: Hardened Team <hardened@gentoo.org>
Content-Type: text/plain
Posted: 2010-11-13
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 1.0
Display-If-Profile: hardened/linux
During the next few weeks, all hardened profiles will be restructured to
remove the version number "/10.0". For example, if your current profile
is "hardened/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib" your new profile will be
"hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib".
We will change the profiles one arch at a time, starting with ia64, and
proceeding in order with ppc, ppc64, x86 and amd64. Once your arch has
been updated, you will receive a warning when running emerge that your
profile has been deprecated. When you do, use "eselect profile list" to
get a list of the new profiles. Then, use "eselect profile set <num>"
to switch to your new profile with corresponding number <num>.
Progress with the restructuring will be track in bug #344861.
News item for restructuring of hardened profiles.
