it depends. we can bootstrap a VM within a few minutes, but it is
helpful if we know a few hours or days in advance. Try to catch us on
#debian-admin@OFTC. The next person of the team that is around and has
time will act upon your requests. Usually install request / config
changes that are done via config management will be done with a few
hours.

Time changes, team changes, mind changes.
