Amir,

To summarize: the only wiki that will soon get the old columns dropped is commonswiki and the rest of the wikis will keep the old columns until the migration to the new columns is complete on all wikis, at which time there will be a communication.

Is this correct?

Thanks,

If we insist on dropping now, I do think treating Commons as special and waiting until all are finished before dropping the rest would be better. It’s a small difference but potentially makes the logic simpler to implement.
