I don't know if you consider me to be one of those folks, or not.
However, if I am, I believe a common thread for at least one person
will be:
Fix what's broke, don't fix what's not broke.
[This is orthogonal to "ad-hoc" vs. "highly bureaucratized".]
However, I will grant the possibility that some developers are solely
concerned about the "ad-hoc" vs. "highly bureaucratized" axis.
