That's why I'm asking the planet admins.  I'd argue that in general we
delegate responsibility to people to run services as they choose.
It's more complex than that of course, but it's certainly common for us
to give people wide latitude to do their jobs.

So planet admins might well take a different approach than owner@bts or
salsa or...
And absent some project-wide policy or an override or something I think
the planet admins do get to decide for planet.

I think the general question is interesting, and a very reasonable
answer from the planet admins might be "We haven't thought this one
through, let's have a general discussion."

If people do decide to have the general discussion I'd appreciate it if
they were to change the subject.
