Usually, when that happens, a constructive way to move forward is to
rephrase opinions to make sure that they were correctly understood.
I understand your position as "if it's QA, then it should be done inside
the QA infrastructure (qa.debian.org, svn, etc.), not in a scratch area
on wagner."

Scratch areas on quantz or samosa are useful, but:
- I don't think that it should be my role or the role of the QA team to
manage them, so they shouldn't live under /org/qa.debian.org or
/org/udd.debian.org.
- quantz and samosa are not accessible to non-DDs.
