[Engineering] Long running tasks/scripts now included on [[wikitech:Deployments]]

Tue Sep 20 22:29:30 UTC 2016

In an effort to reduce surprises and potential mishaps it is now
required to include any long running tasks in the deployment
calendar[0].

"Long running tasks" include any script that is run on production 'work
machines' such as terbium that last for longer than ~1 hour. Think:
migration and maintenance scripts.

This was discussed and proposed in T144661[1].

Best,

Greg
