ANNOUNCEMENT: About to re-convert *all* mirrors

[Erik Helin]

Hi everyone,

seems like the re-conversion finished a bit earlier than expected. All 
mirrors available at https://github.com/openjdk have now been 
re-converted and refreshed.

Feel free to re-create your personal forks and clones.

Thanks,
Erik & Robin
