If you do not upgrade your systems to openrc-0.11.8 before it leaves 
the tree, you may need to reinstall them.

I think you mean

If you do not upgrade your systems to baselayout-2 and openrc-0.11.8 
before openrc-0.11.8 leaves the tree, you may need to reinstall them.

The problem is with baselayout-1 and that's what needs to be updated.
The "you may need to reinstall them" is a bit over the top.  You can 
always pick up the pieces with a liveCD.

Do you need to point out that the old (" ... ") syntax will no longer 
be supported, or do you intend to tolerate the baselayout-1 syntax in 
/etc/conf.d/net and friends a while longer.

A friendly link to the update guide 
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
may be in order too.

I've seen many users on baselayout-2 with baselayout-1 net files. This 
news item will bypass them.
