To clarify: This does *not* mean that no other deploys can happen at the
same time. Other deploys *can* happen (as they did before), but this
provides a method for those running the long running tasks to
communicate to deployers and vice-versa.

Deployers/those running the long running task are encouraged to use the
"Changes" section of the deployment calendar to communicate any gotchas
or other information valuable to other deploys/opsen.

Of course, if the long running task does imply no other deploys (not
terribly common) then that would be coordinated appropriately.
