Agreed. My company is notoriously bad for poor communication. Our IT hardware department decided to update various computers and it crashed the entire business for about 2 hours because the updates affected software that was being used.
What did they learn from this? Nothing, it happened again two weeks later.
My point is that sometimes sysadmins don't update for a reason.
