Big bang releases may not make sense from a technical standpoint, but they may actually be encouraged
by other factors. A long, rigid, arduous ATO process might be one - encouraging only one trip down
the gauntlet to get approval.  A legislative mandate might be another.

Let's start compiling a list of these and we can talk about mitigation strategies at a later guild meeting!

Please add any factors and strategies you'd suggest or have seen work.
