No problem. ;)

Yeah, we just want to make sure at least a few people know how to debug
and fix things. Then it's not all on one persons shoulders.

I'd have to test them. ;) 

It's possible, but not sure how possible. We are putting together
budgets for next year now, but not sure if we would be able to get
SSD's for this. 

I'm not sure also how big things are. ie, all the unpacked package
sources. We could find out, but will take some investigation.

We are very heavily a python shop here, I don't know if any of our
applications folks have really done much with go, but I'm sure they
will chime in if they have. ;)

Yeah, I think so.

There would also be questions around processing the source... in debian
do you unpack all the source debs? or ? 

Do you follow just some branches of packages? Or all of them? 
Or just some arches? 

Is this just upstream source? or the source + any local patches?

Lots of questions... hope I'm not asking too many dumb ones. ;)
