Do we have deployment this week? T281164: 1.37.0-wmf.23 deployment blockers has been created as usual, covering the Train Deployment for the week of September 13th.
Yes, with the caveat that if something goes wrong/poorly with the switchover it might be delayed or cancelled. We did it last time and it seemed to work out fine.
Heads up, ATM swift traffic is in eqiad because of codfw hw rebalance (T288458). The eqiad swift hardware is ready to be put in service now, I'll be flipping swift (read) traffic back to codfw tomorrow and kick off at least an eqiad initial rebalance since the cluster is ~93% full now. We can decide by Tues on what to do with Swift read traffic, it should be fine to either: move fully to eqiad, remain in codfw or active/active.

The notice that has just gone up at English Wikipedia reads

06:00 UTC was several hours ago.
Five minutes ago it said "15:00 UTC - 16:00 UTC". It's now reading "14:00 UTC - 15: 00 UTC". I get the impression that the devs concerned are in a non-European timezone and don't know how their local TZ relates to UTC. The time as I write this is 14:39 UTC. This is also 14:39 GMT, and 15:39 BST.

I sent a short recap to wikitech-l: https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/6UZCCACCBCZLN5MHROZQXUG6ZOQTDCLO/ - we were read-only for 2m42s.
The main thing left to do before resolving this is to repool codfw caches/traffic on Monday.
