I can. It happens when you do work for the Federal Govt on many projects. I've worked with DBAs who were subcontracted to NASA and every single little change (parameter change, script change, etc) had to go through a Configuration Control Board (CCB), go through QA testing, be put into a source code change management tool and all the other stuff. Sometimes, it takes forever just to fix something that's broken because of all the steps one goes through. Other times, its definitely worth all the trouble.

Cheers,
