If you want to give me root access to the MediaWiki production cluster, then I'll start being responsible for the stability of the site. Tell me something, what about the developers of MariaDB? Should they be responsible for WMF's stability? If they accidentally release a buggy version, are they expected to revert it within hours so that the WMF operations team can redeploy? Or will the operations team actually test new releases first, and refuse to update until things start working again? *-- * *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2016 Major in Computer Science _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
