As mentioned earlier on the xmldatadumps-l, the dumps are running very slow
this month, ince the vslow db hosts they use are also serving live traffic
during a tables migration. Even manual runs of partial jobs would not help
the situation any, so there will be NO SECOND DUMP RUN THIS MONTH. The
March 1 Wikidata run is still in process but it should complete in the next
several days.
With any luck everything will be back to normal in April and we'll be able
to conduct two runs as usual from then on.

Hello everybody,
Those of you who follow the dumps closely may have notice that they are
running slower than usual this month. That is because the db servers on
which they run are also serving live traffic, so that a wikidata-related
migration can complete before the end of the month.
I will try to do extra manual runs to see if I can get the wikidata page
content dumps to complete by the 20th, but if it turns out not to be
feasible, we may delay or skip the March 20th run.
In any case the two April runs should happen on schedule.
Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Ariel
P.S. Please stay safe and look after each other.
