This afternoon at 06:00 UTC I will upgrade Beaker's Gerrit installation 
at http://gerrit.beaker-project.org/ from version 2.2.2 to the latest 
version 2.4.2. If everything goes well downtime should only be a few 
minutes.

>From reading over the release notes, it seems the biggest changes 
affecting us will be:

* Changes have a new state, DRAFT, meaning they are not ready to be 
  reviewed yet. Push to refs/drafts/ to create a draft, or refs/publish/ 
  to create a normal change as before. Pushing to refs/for/ is 
  apparently now deprecated, but presumably it will be supported for the 
  foreseeable future.

* When reviewing a merge commit (which we have never done in the past), 
  the diff is shown against git's automatic merge result rather than the 
  base commit. That means we will just be reviewing the conflicts 
  resolved in the merge, not the entire merge. This will make merge 
  reviews much more useful.

* There is now a "Rebase" button that will automatically rebase a change 
  on top of the tip of the destination branch (or on top of the latest 
  patchset in the dependent change if there is one) and creates a new 
  patchset from the result.
