Releases paused whilst GitLab performs maintenance

We've just pushed a change to our task runner that will prompt it to fall-over to another mirrored, off-gitlab repository should gitlab.com ever be down in the future. Fortunately, this means the task runner won't be impacted by future gitlab.com outages. 🎉

Note: this won't fully avoid deployment issues for customers whose project repos are with gitlab.com.

Gitlab appears to be currently finishing off its' maintenance. https://status.gitlab.com

It appears GitLab is responding to requests again, we've re-enabled the Task Runner.

We've briefly paused the task-runner whilst one of our upstream dependencies GitLab performs maintenance on it's infrastructure.
