How is this meanwhile?

Like a 404, after migration. :) https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=interwikimap
Now it (still) thinks it's a Wikipedia, and it lacks all the previous local custom interwikis like RT.
Ariel used this procedure after the last upgrade (before the labsconsole merge):

Apparently RT is not a language code so if it managed to correctly use the normal interwiki map that would be enough:

wikitech-old already had a bad map for some time before the migration. (i.e. I can remember https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Httpsless_domains having RT redlinks for quite a while now)

Some docs/instructions in bug 41786.
