Thomas-
Well, and if nobody is online (of the developers) and
all are on holidays
and all missed the missing ',' at the end, everything is hopefully in
english (fallback),
First, there are many people with CVS access, and there will be many more
soon. At some point, it is about as likely that all of them are
unavailable as the danger that all Wikipedians are suddenly unavailable to
fix a vandalized page.
Second, the idea is to use the test.wiki for experimenting, and to
announce it as such to our users. So they would help with the debugging
process.
Third, nothing would stop us from doing emergency bugfixes if absolutely
necessary.
While I like having an admin do things manually, the number of different
installations involved and the many people working on CVS code makes this
quite tricky. It seems like an obvious job for scripts. It works for
Debian, why shouldn't it work for us?
Regards,
Erik
