Hi all!

This year we're planning to *freeze backport and train deployments Fri, Dec 22nd to Mon, Jan 1st.*

November holidays, a Developer Experience Offsite, and the normal December freeze means there are only *4 more deployment trains this year for MediaWiki*:

- 13 Nov - wmf/1.42.0-wmf.5 (this week) - 20 Nov - No Train (Thanksgiving on Thu 23 Nov) - 27 Nov - wmf/1.42.0-wmf.7 - 03 Dec - No Train (Developer Experience offsite) - 11 Dec - wmf/1.42.0-wmf.9 - 18 Dec - wmf/1.42.0-wmf.10 - 25 Dec - No Train (Deployment Freeze) - 01 Jan - wmf/1.42.0-wmf.12

All this information is on the yearly deployment calendar[0].

We freeze deployments every year for the end-of-December holidays and the busy fundraising season[1][2][3][4][5].

Thanks!
