Where I come from, it takes two months to update a program in production.
just to argue this point, are you changing the behavior of the program by
changing values in a control file? If so, shouldn't that change be
controlled by change management? And since a control file is not a part of
change management software it is better to change the behavior of the
program by changing the source code ( list of users that can run an option
) and promoting that change. That way the change can be rolled back.
