Would such a person take this position voluntarily and unpaid? Existing stable devs and sysadmins are paid with "unlimited power" in the project now. Is that a good thing? If we get more devs/sysadmins "for free", we're splitting the "unlimited" into halves effectively making it limited and much less appealing. Can we replace "a free unlimited power" payment we give to dev/sysadmins now with any other scalable means, be that money or anything other?
