To clarify - are you saying this ([deploying increasingly excellent software on the Wikimedia production cluster in a consensus-oriented manner]) is the actual current scope of ArchCom, or are you advocating for a change in scope?
It's my attempt to clarify the scope, but you could argue it's a change.
Ultimately, WMF TechOps has correctly blocked a lot of software making it to the Wikimedia cluster that hasn't been through the RFC process, even though they themselves weren't entirely clear about the scope. Wikimedia Foundation leadership has an (unfortunately) long history of being unclear about the scope. I share the blame for this. This is my attempt to clarify.
