Exactly. Now if you limit the admins choices to a limited set of configurations your making their a lot job harder because they need to go back to the dev guys if the configuration they want to test does not have already exist as part of a set.

I'd contend that once you hit QA it's an admin's job to point to an appropriate 
DB server for instance, not a dev's (although the devs will clearly have a

changed in any environment without the EAR itself changing.

Then the questoin becomes "Hows does the developer create a configuration set when the application is released which uses the database server which is chosen by the tech support team when things start going wrong at a later date?"

If the techies at DR just had a "dev, test, or prod" switch how could they have done that?
How could they do it if they had to change code?

Complex environments require complex configuration management; I'm not sure how 
the example contraindicates that.

Lots of environments (even my non-Orbitz-scale ones) require more configurability than 
"dev, test, prod", although they can be useful shorthands for configuration 
sets.
