This pilot fish sets up software for a large customer that's a bit gun-shy when it comes to upgrading Java.
"Past Java updates have caused problems with some of the customer's custom-built applications," fish says.
Result: Customer's management sends out a request for all of its application managers to report back on the question of whether the new Java version will work with their custom apps.
Then can I get the new version loaded onto the test servers for the application managers to test? fish asks.
"Management says no," sighs fish. "The new version is not to be released, even for testing, until the application managers report the results of their testing."
