Should we split this into three tickets since the actionables (and people acting on those) are fairly disjunct? (So one task to remove it from the Math extension, one task to remove it from the production installation/repositories and one to clean up the database)
@MoritzMuehlenhoff yes. I just started with this list as overview while brainstorming.

Is cleaning up swift global-math-render.* containers in scope for this? afaik with mathoid now these containers shouldn't be used anymore?
@fgiunchedi, unfortunately, I don't understand your question. From my perspective, the next step is to create a ticket for
Remove LaTeX and texvcv(check) from the production servers
that is appropriate for operations. Naively, the task corresponds to uninstalling the packages texlive-full and ocaml from the web server in a single private instance wiki. However, I understand that the setup at WMF is complex. That said I can not judge if
cleaning up swift global-math-render.* containers
is in the scope or not, since I have too few knowledge of the current production infrastructure.

[operations/puppet@production] mediawiki::packages: remove packages for math rendering
@Joe do we need to test that on other servers as well? I was thinking of merging this along with https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/puppet/+/538884/ (Remove tmpreaper from mediawiki servers)

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2019-10-16T12:38:52Z] <effie> remove tex* and math related packages from appserver canaries - T195847
Since we will be reimaging all mw* servers, those packages will need to be removed actually from snapshot*, deploy*, mwmaint* and labweb*

We should probably still remove the math packages (but not ploticus!) from all mw appservers.
It was a bit confusing why some servers were different from others in:

@jijiki Per our meeting today.. it would have been nice to have to remove the math packages from all but since reinstall is happening really soon now i am closing it again.
