When one of my previous employers went ISO9000, it (iso) was described as a way of guaranteeing that the company produced the exact same faulty concrete life preservers every single time (no, we didn't make life preservers). ISO 9000 doesn't stop you from making changes. It just stops you from making *undocumented* changes. By definition, there are no ad hoc *anythings* - if you need to add a sed script, you need to document that a sed script is to be used at that point.
