This has been completed. Here are the changes/deviations to the original plan :

1) We had to run checksetup.pl on the webhead instead of the admin node because of a missing firewall hole (my oversight). Adam got that fixed in Bug 843986.

2) We ran into an error 21 mins into the checksetup.pl run. The error was You cannot alter the longdescs.comment_id column to be NOT NULL without specifying a default or something for $set_nulls_to, because there are NULL values currently in it. glob did some code checks and we had no reason to actually have the error, so we re-ran checksetup.pl and it completed fine. glob will try and do some additional troubleshooting with dkl to see if there was a reason for the error.

3) Figured out that http auth > and easier to implement that Zeus "block all the things but there" so we'll go with that on production push day.

4) We moved around some cosmetic changes to the plan like editing configs 

5) We also decided that a good way to test email is to use 4.2's LimitedEmail extension. This is where we can decide to ask bugzilla to email only some people and ignore everyone else. So the 4.2 push will happen with LimitedEmail enabled and once testing is complete, we will go ahead and re-push with LimitedEmail disabled.

All these changes are reflected in https://etherpad.mozilla.org/bugzillamove2scl3 for the actual move day.
