Radoslaw has made the fundamental point. Some few prohibitions are of course necessary, but the best course in most of these situations is to ask oneself the question, "Do I really need to say no?", and the answer is usually no.
Still, the gratuitous prohibitions proliferate; and the sysprog/admin---Dress'd in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd---deciding what an 'ordinary programmer' needs is one of the chief offenders here.
