Actually, the modern mindset has changed radically on this point. Constant change is expected, even considered good, and something you design to account for. Now, I'm not saying I'm the best at achieving this goal yet, but the tide definitely seems to have shifted from the "don't change things that often" model (which might be considered analogous to the waterfall-model of software development) to the "constant controlled change" model (a la continuous integration, etc.) Fundamentally, there are legitimately two competing schools of thought on this (obviously). However, the trend the industry seems to be moving towards is embracing the latter, not the former. We (he says, waving his hands to point around the mailing list) might not be in that camp, but make no mistake, most of the organizations that are operating "at scale" today *are* the ones embracing it. And that says more about us, as a community, than I think a lot of us would like to admit. I know it took me a while to come around to admitting to myself that most of what I'd learned over the last 20 years was being tossed out on its ear. How long will it take the rest of us?
