From what I've heard, we don't have two active DAMs who work in parallel.

We have 900+ developers, so finding around 3-4 people which we grant that privilege shouldn't be that hard. We already trust 900 people with root shells on every Debian machine (this is often used in discussions around NM), so we should be able to trust a few more than one (or two) people with root on our own machines, right? And even if you think that'd be a problem (which I don't), I think it might be possible to implement the account creation in such a way that DAM members can create regular-DD accounts, but that they can't add superuser accounts or elevate regular accounts. With an LDAP system, such a thing should at least in theory be possible, but I don't know the implementation specifics though. Thijs
