yes min 1 the sysadm, which I have volunteered to be.

No.

I dont understand your question. I have the karma needed, so have the
suggested vm-team. As I wrote I dont know how we handle a situation where a
person steps down. I dont see it is as a problem, to let karma be
untouched. But I do see it as a problem, if the proposal is not followed.

If problems arises due to karma, it wil hopefully be dealt with by infra,
just like it is today.

No, I dont agree. We saw 2 month ago, what happens when we do not work
after the same rules, and there are no provision in my proposal how sysadm
share the work. We either work by the book, or work alternatively, we dont
mix those two ways of working.

I have no problem working together, but time have shown (in my opinion)
that the servers need a lot more stability. It was on purpose I wrote 1
sysadmin, that is a center piece in my proposal.

I dont understand, why we would ever want "as many as possible", I fail to
see the advantage, and history have shown some of the disadvantages. We
need to make sure we have coverage:
- VM team manages short term failures around the clock
- sysadm secures (not nessecarily does) the maintenance
- Infra is standing by, should  the sysadm not be reachable.
