[Labs-announce] Tools DB / Labs Postgres DB maintenance on 15 Feb 2017

Wed Feb 15 23:23:23 UTC 2017

This is complete, and we only had a few minutes of it being readonly.
We are now running on MariaDB 10, so new features might be available
to you!

Thanks to DBAs (Jynus / marostegui) for pushing it through! Let us
know if anything is amiss! Thanks :)
