This is standard modern process management. 

Large networking equipment manufacturers and software houses do exactly
the same thing. Fine if you're a large multinational, you have large
amounts of buffer $ to burn doing the vendors quality assurance, but
little companies like us just get burned - it takes a year or 3 of
contract maintenance or managed service income to recover from this.

I found another (what I think is a) bug (and I will bet they call it a
feature- or 'expected behaviour' so they don't have to fix it) in an
'enterprise grade' bit of kit this afternoon, during an installation.
