classic to modern ARKs	John

• draft blog post and arks-forum announcement -- fun graphic?
• direct appeal to stakeholder holdouts, eg, gallica?
• rw: tricky to support modern ARKs via our FS APIs
• jk: could monitor logs to observe if modern ARKs are coming in
• rw: probably will keep storing classic arks
• gj: How DOI handled their transition: "Users may resolve DOI names that are structured to use the DOI system Proxy Server (https://doi.org (preferred)). The resolution of the DOI name in this case depends on the use of URL syntax: the example DOI name doi:10.10.123/456 would be resolved from the address: “https://doi.org/10.123/456”. Any standard browser encountering a DOI name in this form will be able to resolve it. The proxy service (both doi.org and the earlier but no longer preferred dx.doi.org) is accessible over IPv6, and supports DNSSEC. The proxy servers respond to HTTPS (preferred) as well as HTTP requests."
• all: generally fine with wording and strategy
