Honestly, for the 'average' persion they aren't going to notice anything happening as they don't use P2P or Newsgroups.

Those that are likely to be affected by the trial at the times it is happening are more than likely already active within the Community Forums, or at least are aware of them.

Mailing millions of customers about the trial would likely cause more issues that it solves, as you would then get a fair amount of people calling in asking whether X program is affected or not, or at a lower level 'What is Newsgroups' etc
