Mr Dashwood, consider the following:

Given that a corporation has finite resources then how are user changes
(which consume resources) to be co-ordinated and allocated in a manner
which is not reflective of 'the squeakiest wheel' and which is most
profitable to the organisation?

Never mind that 'I know it's what I told you but it's not what I want
TODAY' is demoralising for everyone involved... it Costs Money.
