Hi all!
A pattern of adding a note on the train-blocker phab task[0] for risky changes has recently emerged.
Folks on RelEng have found this information useful, and we would like to codify this, encouraging developers to continue this pattern. We've added a page to Wikitech, with a template to use for these kinds of changes[1].
If you're worried about the production impact of a patch you've written and would like to ensure that folks who will be deploying it are aware, please use our fancy new template and reply on the train blocker task.
Thanks! -- Tyler
