I'd think that unless they're officially "part of fedora" as in, everyone
involved is a member of the Infrastructure team, doing it the
infrastructure way with our puppet config.  We won't be correcting
anything.  I'd have to insist on that.  This secondary hosting would very
much be a second class citizen with the people requesting it basically
being on their own.

Define "managed".  Would it have our account system?  If so would they
have access to the encrypted passwords of the sysadmin-main members?
