Hello all,


As we continue with work towards the grid engine deprecation[0], we are following through with the timeline[1] shared.


We have reached out to each maintainer via email and talk pages with reminders.


On the 14th of this month(February), we will begin to stop tools that are still running on the grid.

Tools that have had their maintainers reach out and are actively migrating, can ask for extensions and will not be stopped.


Once a tool is stopped, if the maintainer has a clear plan for migrating, they can request in the tool-specific migration task for the tool to be re-enabled (although they will be shut down again if they miss the March deadline).


If you have a tool that is still on the grid and you cannot meet the above deadline, kindly reach out via the tool migration phabricator ticket or our support channels[2]
