Saw that. Looks appealing, but I'm not particularly keen on, "We only require that you keep one sudo-enabled account on the system for us to use as needed for troubleshooting." [1] Do I want to give root access to the project's master git server to somebody I've never met, who is probably a good & nice person, but not really directly associated with the project? In general, I'm wary of places with relaxed enough informal policies that somebody could just walk over to a machine and fiddle with it. It's not that I actually intend to do some kind of top secret computing on Internet-facing machines like those, but I also don't want to have to be _as_ concerned about those edge cases when I'm deciding which things to run or host on it.

Seems like setting the stage ripe for a supply chain attack if something like alpine were to be hosted under those conditions
