Drop unnecessary growthexperiments-homepage-variant entries from user_properties at Wikimedia wikis
Open, MediumPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

Thanks to T374544: Use "control" as the static default for growthexperiments-homepage-variant, we can now (once wmf.26 is branched, ie. starting October 07) drop rows from user_properties table at Wikimedia wikis. Namely, we can drop all rows with up_property=growthexperiments-homepage-variant, besides those where the value is oldimpact.

This can be done via userOptions.php (--delete-defaults and/or --delete --old=VALUE-TO-DELETE should be the parameters to use).

Blocked by date (this is only safe after wmf.26 gets branched).

@Sgs I assume you'll take this on, once the time comes?
