QA isn't sysadmins. Sysadmins aren't QA. Sysadmins aren't all programmers. Sysadmins have other stuff to be doing. Back off on the blame parade.

(Not to mention, we're probably talking Windows here for a significant portion of this stupidity, and Windows admins are even less likely to be programmers, in my small experience. Not to mention, we're probably also talking about groups which don't have the time/resources to do serious QA. Not to mention, even if the sysadmin can program (most likely perl), the programmers might not write in the same language (here, they do tcl).)
