I don't know man, isn't that a little knee-jerk?
If Otto can break your website in production, then any deploy script could break your website in production. I mean yea, I have a script right now that can bring my company's website down. Since I happen to be in ancient python land, it's just `fab conf:web,prod stop`. Devops has always had this capability. :P
I think they're working on some security thing called Vault if you want to take care of password management. In the meantime, literally every other shop in SF is storing half their passwords in plaintext, in code (optimistically. things are probably worse). It's really hard to understate how bad things are.
I'm not buying that these tools are going to make devops go away. I hope that these tools will mean we spend less time taking care of seriously dumb stuff in devops.

The concern isn't "could it break my website?" but "what do I do if it does?". The more black-box something is, the harder it is for me to quickly fix something / override whatever weird bug my deployment script has done.
