Even if it works, you lose control over systems that you don't understand. And that gets expensive.
Ever worked for a bank? Prime example of this. Each of the major banks has one guy that understands the bottom layers of their stacks. He's in his 60s. He hasn't retired because the bank keeps driving dump trucks full of money up to his house. He knows more about banking than the CEO. He knows how to code on punch cards. He's been known to bite. You know a version of this guy, eh?
The current process when you need a change made is to make a request and wait 6 to 8 months and hopefully he gets back to you.
When that guy retires... I dunno man.
