Saw that. Looks appealing, but I'm not particularly keen on, "We only require that you keep one sudo-enabled account on the system for us to use as needed for troubleshooting."

In general, I'm wary of places with relaxed enough informal policies that somebody could just walk over to a machine and fiddle with it. It's not that I actually intend to do some kind of top secret computing on Internet-facing machines like those, but I also don't want to have to be _as_ concerned about those edge cases when I'm deciding which things to run or host on it.
