We decided against a site wide notification about this, as more editors are using the VisualEditor these days (and we don't have the ability to only target classic editor users at present). Not a lot of point pinging everyone about something only a few may understand or use.

That being said, we appreciate the feedback about giving more notice - we'll review how we can improve that in the future.
