.Mac Homepage application closes on November 8th. iLife '11 on November 9th?

Reader Jacob writes in (also posted on the Loop) that Apple is telling .Mac Homepage users that their content will no longer be viewable by the outside world on November 8th (but still available through the user interface).  Apple first notified customers a year ago of the impending change.

Dear MobileMe member,

Over a year ago, we retired the .Mac HomePage application for publishing new pages, but allowed previously published pages to remain viewable on the web. On November 8, 2010, we will discontinue online viewing of photos, movies, and files shared using .Mac HomePage.

Content published with iWeb, the company’s Web publishing tool and part of its iLife suite, will not be affected by the change.

Btw…November 8th is a Monday.

Would that suggest Tuesday Nov 9 as launch date for iLife 11?  We’re plenty hopeful.

Dear MobileMe member,
Over a year ago, we retired the .Mac HomePage application for publishing new pages, but allowed previously published pages to remain viewable on the web. On November 8, 2010, we will discontinue online viewing of photos, movies, and files shared using .Mac HomePage.
Please note that your content will not be deleted. Any photos, movies, or files you have published using HomePage will continue to remain on your MobileMe iDisk in the Movies, Pictures, or Public folders. We recommend MobileMe Gallery as a great way to share photos and movies on the web. Please read these instructions on how to move your HomePage photos and movies to MobileMe Gallery.
MobileMe members who have published web pages using iWeb will not be affected by this change. If you have used other software to publish web content to MobileMe or .Mac, or have questions about this change, please read this FAQ.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for being a MobileMe member.
Sincerely,
The MobileMe Team

Mac HomePage viewing will be discontinued on November 8, 2010
