If it takes the committer longer to fix the world breakage than it takes the security officer to deal with the hole, then the committer may be fined. In all other cases, the security officer can be fined. At committer's discretion. We can then add bonuses. Say, for example, I fix someone else's world breakage fast enough that they are able to avoid the fine, then they have to pay me either $5.00, $10, or $20. In cases where more than one committer was responsible, either indirectly or directly, then all involved should be fined. -- Signature withheld by request of author.
