Yes - you run one or more Tailscale subnet routers instead of your existing concentrators, then slowly migrate to running Tailscale directly from new deployments at your convenience.
Running a subnet router is a matter of installing the Tailscale package on a server and authorizing it to route traffic to certain subnets over Tailscale.

Ben Gamari's October 30 email (https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2018-October/016...) to the ghc-devs list proposed considering alternatives to Phabricator and outlines reasons that Phab wasn't working.
A summary of the problems outlined in the email:
* Lack of options for support from Phacility
* Free/open source components of Phabricator feeling half-finished because Phacility has redirected development resources to paid features
* Issues with Harbormaster (Phabricator's half-baked CI system)
* Developer's prefer using regular Git to Phabricator's nonstandard workflow, which requires installation of the Arcanist command-line tool (written in PHP to manage patches.

Students may perform above grade level in reading and math, but tests in these areas fail to measure the skills involved in learning how to learn. No Child Left Behind and its ilk focus on proficiency and remediation, but actually risks leaving bright students behind. When children can breeze through their assigned work because it’s so easy for them, they end up ill prepared for facing challenge and failure when it finally comes. They are left with poor study habits and time management skills because they never needed good ones before. I’m not sure how to measure these skills but doing so may give a more complete picture of a student’s learning situation — maybe a picture that incentivizes challenging students according to their abilities.

How did you make that image? If I had to, I'd create an awful custom profile for my monitor and work with that in Photoshop et al, but that's kind of a kludge. Did you use a tool to change the ICC profile behind it?

I definitely agree about the linked Wikipedia article on modality. Literary theory is probably not a good way to talk about modality with programmers, but the idea of modality isn't just about linguistics and literature, and isn't as obscure as you think.
A better starting point for programmers and computer scientists would have been modal logic, which uses the modal operators of necessity and possibility.
For example, classical logic uses propositions. I can say "P" in classical logic. In modal logic, I can say "P", "Necessarily P", and "Possibly P", where logical necessity and possibility are modalities. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_logic -- it's a pretty good overview and it links the logical and epistemological senses of modality.
