24 I think for now its the general culture from the current infrastructure
25 lead (robbat2) and the draft policy that tries to clearly describe the
26 situation. At least the current infra team is aware of a number of past
27 incidents (one being the one you mentioned, but there are others) and IMHO
28 avoiding impropriety (and avoiding even the appearance of impropriety) is
29 pretty high upon our list.

32 lead is pretty busy with work so it might not be finalized.
