Shellbox allows for shell outs to external binaries over a HTTP API, so the binaries don't need to be in the MediaWiki k8s pod.

I did another logstash search over the past 4 weeks (https://logstash.wikimedia.org/goto/03f4c04cae4644900776976ae1ee0b7b) and came up with the following list of commands:
- pygmentize - in progress
- pdftotext/pdfinfo - in progress
- gpg1 - not planned, see T209892: SecurePoll is not compatible with GPG 2.1+
- djvutxt/djvudump - next up
- ploticus/rsvg-convert - in progress
- vips (via Special:VipsTest) - maybe this extension should be disabled, thumbnailing is via thumbor now
- tiffinfo - in progress
- svn - not supported
- captcha-old.py (confirmedit) - not planned, presumably the mwmaint replacement will need Python+PIL installed.
- ifconfig -a (GlobalIdGenerator) - need to make sure ifconfig is available in container

I put together a shared dashboard that shows how many shellouts* MediaWiki is initiating for specific places I'd added statsd metrics: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/3SiE86Nnz/mediawiki-shellouts?orgId=1
* note that by shellouts, its counting both requests that go to Shellbox and those that are still executed on the appserver itself during the migration period.
