It's probably worth mentioning that I have a specific goal in my Red Hat
team to transition away from myself as the single point of failure for
so many things oVirt-infrastructure. Aside from the usual "hit by a
raptor"-value of making sure that >1 person can do things, it's
explicitly my goal to have this team operate independently. I want to
see oVirt Infra able to be lead by anyone interested and capable,
regardless of email address.

I hope some of you are keeping your eye on this idea, as one day we'll
want to have some kind of elections or a choosing system for Infra
leadership, and I don't plan on running for a seat. ;-D
