Oh I like that. somone who either keeps their operations team under complete control, or is going to have a bad surprise near a deadline. I hope it is the former; that you have an integrated dev and deploymenment team.

I've had ops teams upgrade java versions without telling us developers; it leads to some great recriminations. Now on a system like that, I'd actually write a unit test that checked the version of the JVM and automatically failed if was not what we were built against, just to stop them upgrading without telling me.
