Update:

2/3 of the change was pulled out on friday night, due to bugs. Some more was
pulled out on sunday when it didn't work right.

And business people were demanding (and getting) changes made to the spec
(and to the code) right up to and after the time it was deployed.

*sigh* I dunno why I bother....

Teehee - we don't work at nearly the same scale that you apparently do, but
this is about par for the course.

Boss: "I PROMISE this is the spec, the only spec and nothing but the
spec..."

Client: "Hey! I saw this somewhere else, and it would be so cool if..."

You know the rest.
