I hardly do any pmdev stuff, because working on the one-and-only live system makes me queasy.

I don't think that's why. You as a developer can't modify the live system, you only submit patches. I modify the live system. And I do it a lot. You don't need to worry about it. On the contrary: I'd love to see you and the other pmdevils submitting lots of patches. It is completely safe to do so.

    I also don't think that's why.

    Not being able to test changes in a local environment, results in what is basically programming by guesswork, which I think is too awkward and not sustainable for many people.
