The problem here is the old one of trying to build things on top of
other things.

If you have no buy-in to the process from your providers you
are left trying to hit a moving a target.

Solutions:
1) Make it easy for people to maintain it
2) Write tests so you know when it breaks
3) Make it a more first class construct such that developers
can "automagically" maintain it or at least know early when it is
affected.
4) "Lock down" the provider's config and complain when they
change it without notifying you.
