Hold.

The 'KISS' principle still applies, and no one's ever been able to 
repeal Murphy's Law.

While I'm very much in favor of scrapping all the '*crat' titles that we 
use for event staff and using medieval terms wherever possible, for 
anything involving safety we should keep to a single command used on all 
fields for "stop now!"
