Hmmm. Reminds me of a company I worked for; two groups who could not talk. One group (mine) was spending a pot of money (about a million bucks, 1980s money) to keep an old computing system going, the other wanted to spend that same pot of money on the next generation of computers.
I asked for, and got a desk in Group II's building; right in the midst of Group II. First question I got asked by a very nervous Group II was "what the h*ll are you doing here?" My answer was "Group 1 is trying to keep the engineers delivering code to keep the lights on, and you are trying to progress the tools so that things work better in the future". Put that way, Group II realized that, "hey, that makes sense - we can't stop production for a year", and my old group knew that the old way was increasingly not really cutting it, but we had to keep the lights on... Within ONE DAY the conflict was over, and we all worked towards a common goal. Maybe not relevant, but there are a lot of really smart people here, working away to make better environments, and each and every one has something to contribute to the success of the code base.
