No: to the extent that we have a specific celebrity for cleanup-related

without it. Except we call it the Janitor, which is appropriate in some
cases and confusing in others.
So don't do it when its confusing?
That is what I am begging for, but I don't seem to be getting through.
We can't add new identities like Janitor ad hoc without adding them to
each database that the code change will run against, including the
sample databases. I don't think we want that. Therefore, what I'm
offering for consideration is a Person object for Launchpad that doesn't
purport to be just for one specific aspect of Launchpad.
Please don't use one service account. You asked for opinions and I
think every respondent suggested multiple things would be better than
one oft-used one.
Once again, this is not about accounts. I think it would be easier if
you could either show a way in which they can realistically help solve
this problem, or stop dragging them into it. But don't just keep
repeating this straw man of "if we put our fingers really deep in our
ears and pretend this is about service accounts, then it's a bad idea
and then we don't need to discuss it."
