Hi Joaquin,
Completely nothing was done with the community input about not being
able to do cross wiki joins anymore [1]. In the past the WMF would do
something with community input. I guess the new strategy is to just give
the appearance of community input to legitimize a decision. Nice way to
alienate the volunteers.

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to announce that the new replicas cluster is available for
use after a few weeks open for testing.
To use the new cluster, you will only need to change the hostname when
connecting to the databases. Instead of `*.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs` you
can use `*.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud`. See:

This brings us to the timeline updates:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Wiki_Replicas_2020_Redesign#Timeline
- March 2021
- Announce new cluster domains for all users - March 12
- Migrate Quarry to use the new cluster - March 23
- April 2021
- PAWS migration - Estimated first week of April
- Migrate the old cluster to utilize new replication hosts.
Replication may stop. - April 15
- Redirect old hostnames to the new cluster - April 28
Quarry is ready so it will transition first to use the new replicas.
This will happen on March 23, at which point we will deploy the
changes and update the docs. We are publishing a note on Tech news but
if there are other venues where this information would be useful
please help us spread the word.
PAWS is in the process of being migrated. We estimate it could be
ready to use the new cluster at the beginning of April, and will
publish more details as soon as we know.
On April 15 the old cluster will be moved under the new replication
hosts, at which point there may be side effects and replication may stop.
We recommend you update your code earlier to use the new hostnames to
verify things are working normally.
Not long after, the old hostnames (`*.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs`) will be
redirected to the new ones (`*.db.svc.wikimedia.cloud`), at which
point the old cluster will effectively be inaccessible.
If you have questions or need help please reply to
