Perhaps you stopped reading too soon. There are a few definite hints -- but
only hints -- further down:

Presumably xlwt has something to do with Python and eXceL ? And a second
hint:

Possibly something to do with *writing* Excel documents?

I agree that as announcements go, it lacks a little something, but it sounds
like the xlwt project is being retired so it may not matter.
