As this is the last machine left to migrate, there is a very little
chance of anything going wrong. If we were to trust optimistic
estimates, GitLab will be back before 10 AM CET as remaining steps are
straightforward after the data is here – which is why the data is moved
overnight from Europe's perspective.

If Murphy's Law strikes again, the migration will be rescheduled for
another night.
