We take this approach, with an additional environment called
preview which is customer-visible but is clearly marked as not
for production use. Having more eyes is better.

It's also important to have a clearly defined emergency policy,
so that when an incident comes up -- say, a way to read any file
via your web interface -- you already know who has to approve
the immediate change to all environments both for business
reasons and technically.

Otherwise you end up ad-hoc at the worst possible time.
