So, per my initial response, a good and easy strategy would be a one-two punch 
of mentioning both 9.6 and 10.0 in the same announcements.  The announcements 
would headline with and be focused on 9.6, but each would include a footnote 
about 10.0 also.  That way people are reminded of the 10.0 need without being 
hit over the head by having dedicated announcements about it. -- Darren Duncan
