[arch-announce] Cleaning up old repositories

Around two years ago, we've merged the `[community]` repository into `[extra]` as part of the [git migration](https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-completed/).
In order to not break user setups,
we kept these repositories around in an unused and empty state.
We're going to clean up these old repositories on **2025-03-01**.

On systems where `/etc/pacman.conf` still references the old
`[community]` repository, `pacman -Sy` will return an error on trying to
sync repository metadata.

The following deprecated repositories will be removed: `[community]`,
`[community-testing]`, `[testing]`, `[testing-debug]`, `[staging]`,
`[staging-debug]`.

Please make sure to remove all use of the aforementioned repositories from your `/etc/pacman.conf` (for which a `.pacnew` was shipped with `pacman>=6.0.2-7`)!
