Ah yes, rogue quality enforcement, I've done it too. It's all fun and games until some nosey manager questions the overeager developer who naively lets them in on the scheme and thus exposes the whole team for the bunch of non productive rebels that they are and then it's back to square zero.

Quality conscious management doesn't impose strict rules themselves but rather maintain a climate of mutual trust between business and technical where constraints and problems can be surfaced, discussed and addressed openly. Respect for technology is sorely missing from the business class curriculum, yet so much depends on it.
