It looks like Ben's started to rewrite the documentation to represent the
future state, or something. I know that he's working on moving all the ES data
off the Apaches onto a bunch of dedicated ES boxes, but right now the Apaches
are still listed in db.php and the ES boxes aren't.

That's about right, yeah. But it's a bit slow because Peter's being careful and
rotation out memcached boxes 3 at a time. Also, each replacement memcached
server starts with a blank slate, so that part of the cache needs to be
rebuilt, which means replacing 20 of them at once is probably not a good idea.
And the number of spares we have lying around isn't infinite either, of course.

I *believe* so, but I'll ask Peter to comment here with an authoritative
answer.

I hacked up a quick one-liner to check the number of upgraded servers, and it
seems we have 97 upgraded machines and 108 non-upgraded ones.
