Hi!
Today is the deadline for Ubuntu Trusty instances running in CloudVPS
[0]. We will be shutting down the remaining instances next monday
(2019-01-21) to avoid having the weekend in-between.
This situation has been communicated in the corresponding phabricator
task to the involved people. The only exception to this deadline is for
projects actively working on migrating to Debian.
For the record, affected projects are:
* queryrapi

* telnet
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T204694
* wikidataconcepts

(please check individual phabricator tasks to see which concrete VMs are
affected)
