[Engineering] New maintenance window Mar 4 1 - 4 pm UTC (was Re: dataset1001 (dumps.wikimedia.org) maintenance window March 2 1-4pm UTC)

Thu Mar 3 18:15:28 UTC 2016

Fallback is: cable up the old 1GB nic (Chris has done this and set up the
port), PXE install on that, move to 10gb NIC once we're back up.  Gross but
it gets the job done.

Set for tomorrow (Friday) 1 to 4 pm UTC, this time should be much smoother.
Same caveats apply as before.
