Advertise the Kubernetes req on launch Thursday - no extra week of waiting

Situation

On 10/27 HR said Wolford wanted to delay advertising the Kubernetes open req another week. Peter checked with Wolford and confirmed in the HR thread that the req can be advertised Thursday, Stratum launch day, with Wolford aligned.

Reasoning

Once Stratum is announced publicly there is nothing to protect; delaying only slows a hard hire.

Additional Context

Confirmed by Peter.

Observed Evidence

Nope. We can advertise on Thursday.
