Deployment timing

Wednesday, 18 January 2023

With 5c5073b merged, this will hit group0 wikis already on Tuesday, 17 January, riding the train, and it may hit group1 wikis on Wednesday a few hours before the backport window, if the train takes the earlier timeslot. Is this what you really want?

@Tacsipacsi: thank you for pointing this out. You doing so is the reminder I needed to say here what the team discussed offline: this change can go out on Tuesday, 17 January 2023.

I've updated the task description to reflect the above.

Change was reverted in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/DiscussionTools/+/880914 because of T327196. Not sure yet if we'll backport it later, or if it will roll out with the train instead.
