Heh. Know of a team of engineers who deliberated over a brittle system for months. Mission critical, world ending stuff if it failed. Their manager got tired of waiting and sent a mail to the team that ran the data centre asking for the machine to be disconnected from the network. By CoB, nobody else had even noticed. Thanks to the nature of big businesses, that mission critical application had been programmed into obsolescence years before by other teams shifting their own workloads off of the server.
