You may notice that a slightly different announcement was sent out to
test-announce. It turns out that we don't need as much downtime to
update as I thought we did - I assumed that there would be a new f21
kernel since production was deployed 2 weeks ago but there isn't.

The only thing that will require downtime is the postgresql security
update which does require that all taskotron systems be halted but
the update shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Anyhow, lesson learned - always check pending update lists before
announcing an outage no matter how sure you are that reboot-required
updates are coming :)

Also, I'm going to be updating and rebooting qadevel at the same time
and phabricator won't be available for 10 minutes or so.
