There's a lot to be learned from Recovery.gov, not all negative. In this case, the HHS CTO was referring to a change in the CMS itself, not the website(s) it controls. Getting code updated in the normal .gov contractor/sub-contractor model would generally take more time, both in terms of requirements and implementation.

I am skeptical. Seems more in the implementation of the CMS. Not a fan of percussion, but I have seen drupal implementations that tied content to presentation also take an stunningly long amount of time for a navigation change. Bad design. Bad implementation.
