This is a great clarifying question. The proposed change would only effect the creation of new virtual machines in Cloud VPS projects. Toolforge is a Cloud VPS project, but running a tool on the job grid does not involve creating a new virtual machine. All of the existing grid engine nodes will remain operational. The intent of <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161899> is to make creation of new Trusty virtual machines an explicit opt-in action for each Cloud VPS project. If we do need to create additional grid engine nodes for Toolforge we will be able to do that. Migration of the Toolforge bastions and Grid Engine nodes to a newer operating system will happen at some point, but not for several months at least. We do not currently know if that migration will be to Debian Stretch, Ubuntu Xenial, or something else. When it does happen, the migration will be well announced and include a period of overlap were both Trusty and the replacement are available to allow tool maintainers a reasonable period to adapt their tools to the newer versions of PHP, Python, etc that will be on the replacement OS.
