don't know your needs well, but Misc has been building many classes
shared among several other community projects, and I've been told we
have several experienced sysadmin to help too.

There's many classes which really are not project-specific. Each project
has a website, wants user accounts, Jenkins is quite common too… So
there's no reason not to shared the roles and publish them publicly.
Sensitive stuff can be split in another repository, or use a Vault
(encrypted config).

You can use this as a way to experiment with this new tool. If you ever
wish to switch, OSAS will help you do so.

I heard in another discussion it was coming, but no date was raised.
