This is done.  Quick tests suggest that everything is working fine, but 
don't hesitate to contact me if you see any strange behavior.

- Most importantly, YOU WILL BE LOGGED OUT of Wikitech.  So if you've 
been relying on a persistent session to avoid having to keep track of 
your 2FA tokens, today is the day to reset 2FA and record the new 
information.


- The new Wikitech build uses a lot of updated software (Debian 
Stretch, HHVM, etc.).  Although we've done some spot-checks, there 
may be new issues that appear for your particular use case.  We'll 
evaluate these as they crop up, and decide whether or not to revert 
to the old server.
