CCicalese_WMF updated the task description. (Show Details)

Hi, I am guessing you will communicate with us (DBAs) on subtasks about the details of how to proceed with this, as this seems quite a complex set of changes, right? We are looking forward to decrease the footprint of revision! :-D

@jcrespo Yes, of course. This is just a tracking task to link all of the required subtasks. Communication with DBAs will continue on the subtasks.
