Re: [Wikitech-l] Diff algorithms: the shootout

All right, votes indicate that wikidiff3 is even better in quality, so here we go: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/284003/ removes DairikiDiff. After it's merged, I plan to refactor this area further and work on improving diff quality now that we'll have 2 places to make changes instead of 3.

We've just completed the switch back, and all services are running from our main data center eqiad (Ashburn) again. The process went very smooth this time around. In the past two days leading up to this, we've been able to either fix or work around the most important issues we encountered on
