Yes! This is a _good_ thing. Developers should feel responsible for what they build. It's shouldn't be operation's job to make sure the site is 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?
