I was expecting nothing :-). But as the Toolserver was miss-
ing on WMF's radar in the past several times, one obvious
solution would be to treat the Toolserver database servers
as part of WMF's domain so they can use their SOPs (*1) to
maintain them instead of manually coordinating with the
Toolserver admins (or not).

(*1)   With a twist for the user databases/access restric-
       tions, of course.
