Twitter update

[Jan Wildeboer]

I propose a slow migration. Announce once a week that people should follow 
@fedora on both accounts and check the numbers of followers on the old 
account. When the number is down enough, announce a final "this account will 
soon be discontinued".

But I would keep both synced forever minus a day. Doesn't cost us, so why 
bother too much?

Someone suggested this to me elsewhere.  Leaving aside the issue of
whether Twitter would help do this at all, the question I had was,
would we run a risk of people thinking we were violating some sort of
norm or etiquette by changing their subscription without permission?
If we were Nike, I'd bet no one would care.  Fedora's follower crowd
probably has different expectations than Nike fans.
