Thread:Talk:WMF Projects/Wikimedia Labs/Root access to the production cluster?

It states We'd like to have an environment where anyone can eventually become root, even on our production cluster. Ummmm. I guessing/hoping there are all sorts of safeguards in place and that root access to the prodcution cluster would be only for highly trusted users that have a specific need for root. I was just hoping for a bit of clarification on that. Other than that, I think this sounds like a great idea and think it could be a huge benefit to the community. Thanks.
