To everybody who thinks it's a great idea to take machines out of the dsh group "apaches": PLEASE DON'T DO IT.
Please don't use the dsh apache group for apache-graceful-all then. It makes apache get restarted on machines it shouldn't be running on.
Maybe we need 'apaches' and 'mediawiki-installation'. Then a-g-a can use the former and scap the latter.
When the machines get put back into apache service by some other person, they have OUTDATED INVALID CODE including OUTDATED INVALID CONFIGURATION which leads to ARTICLES SAVED TO THE WRONG DATABASE SERVER. Of course this wouldn't be so bad if we had THE BROKEN OLD MASTER SET TO READ-ONLY.
Would you like a new caps lock with that, sir?
Thanks.
