It's two-fold: * When is the VM itself inactive * When is the host inactive The first question is easy: just tell artagnon and danielsh "don't use svn-qavm at the moment". Just edit /etc/motd, or edit /topic on IRC, or something. The second question is harder. The host runs over 30 other VMs, and I am not sure offhand what they are all used for. If you care about this level of detail, you'd have to talk to Gavin or Tony from infra --- try catching them on infrastructure@ or #asfinfra.
