Yes! This is a _good_ thing. Developers should

stable for code changes. Things should go more in this direction, in fact.
If you want to give me root access to the MediaWiki production cluster,
then I'll start being responsible for the stability of the site.
Tell me something, what about the developers of MariaDB? Should they be
responsible for WMF's stability? If they accidentally release a buggy
version, are they expected to revert it within hours so that the WMF
operations team can redeploy? Or will the operations team actually test new
releases first, and refuse to update until things start working again?
