I'm not sure I understand the puzzle.
Technically speaking, a host administer can do everything he wants. We
*trust* him not do use his powers unecessarily.

Preferably, there should be various levels of permissions - being able
to setup Jenkins slaves should not mean automatically being able to `git
rm` our repo.

Since I've known Douglas for a year or so now, I trust him to never
abuse his admin rights. I'm looking forward to see him in the infra
team, being able to quickly fix infrastructural problems in our testing
framework.

Regrads,
Dan.
