[atlas] A minor issue yesterday evening - today morning

Dear All,

You may have noticed a small hickup in RIPE Atlas measurement 
scheduling: between yesterday around 22:30 and today 10:30 (CEST) the 
measurements participants have not been properly recorded in our 
metadata store.

This had virtually no impact on your measurements, but we're aware that 
some of you have eagle eyes for such details so we wanted to inform you 
regardless.

Interesting background info for the curious: after more than 10 years of 
bookkeeping we basically exhausted the 32 bit ID space in our main 
database for confirming probe participation in the measurements... so we 
needed to upgrade the relevant fields and processes around it ahead of 
schedule. (The original plan was to do this for in all locations before 
EOY, perhaps even in the coming weeks.)

Regards,
Robert Kisteleki
