Very true, but I'd paraphrase it more positively: If the deployment cycle is long/complicated/expensive enough, everyone is happy if a whack workaround exists and it's not breaking everything. Not all bugs are actually critical and have to be solved the next day.

And I'm saying this a developer, where we would (and have) gladly sometimes fixed the bug during the 1h call with the customer, but until it was being rolled out... weeks, maybe months.
