Hey Dan,
thanks for the reminder! I'm worried there are a lot of community and GLAM
tools that rely on these datasets and are not yet transitioned to the new
data sources (like WikiProject popular pages
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/popularpages/>). Is there any chance we could
get a 1 month reprieve so that Community Tech could track down and fix some
of these tools before the deprecation? Sorry we didn't do this earlier. We
just hired a new developer though and I think this would be a good
on-boarding task for them. Let me know what you think.

Just a reminder, we will be deprecating the pagecounts
datasets at the end
of May, as we mentioned earlier this year [0]. This means these files will
remain there to be used by researchers but new files will not be generated
in the future.
*Pagecounts datasets that will be deprecated*
pagecounts-raw
pagecounts-all-sites
Options for switching to the new datasets [1]:
pageviews for the same format but better quality data
pagecounts-ez for compressed data
