No need to do that. Simply release a patch with the description "security updates are discontinued" which gives the warning. If it is installed, it can change the susewatcher button to go red permanently, if it is not installed, users still see it as available security update.

i'ts easy to send a message to root or update YOU :-) to make it send warnings :-)
Sure. If that can be done now, that would be great. If the current productlines do not make that possible, an other temporary solution can be found. No idea if a mail can be send by running YOU. It would be a very good idea. Send people an email to root that explains a bit and points them to a website explaining more in detail what to do, why it is done and so on.
