Dropping whimsy-vm5 and vm4

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

I don't think there is any point keeping whimsy-vm5 any more.
I have removed it from hermes data updates.

Also whimsy-vm4 could presumably be dropped in due course?
How long do we need to keep it for?

Note that switching back is non-trivial, because of the data that
cached on the local node.
This affects the agenda and secretary functions.
To avoid data loss, it would be necessary to shut down those services
whilst the data was re-synchronised.

My only concern is keeping whatever previous Whimsy that was 'live' past
the next October board meeting, on the off chance there's some subtle
bug that only happens with multiple people using the Agenda tool and we
needed to switchover for the meeting.

After that, +1 to shutting down unused VMs.

Thanks for the work, sebb!
