Changing a module is not always trivial. Where I work it involves creating a document requesting permission for a change, a process which normally takes a week or two. Of course there are emergency requests you can process without outside discussion, to handle things that break at 2 am, but the discussion of why it was needed simply follows the change rather than precedes it. Then you have to unlock the source project, check out the file, change it, check it in, and distribute the changes to the production file system.
As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
