"As announced last year, we will be sunsetting the Special:Forum feature ahead of migrating the remaining Forums-enabled communities to the Unified Community Platform. This move has been delayed twice to ensure that we have more data on Forums-heavy communities and translate that data into enhancements for the Discussions platform.

Since the first wave of Discussions enhancements already arrived, we are ready to begin the process of migrating the remaining Forums content in good standing onto Discussions."

So forum migration is pretty much going to commence right now?
