If you're actually bleeding money, you better believe you'll get permissions for a workaround, if you know what you're doing.

It all ties back to the OP, where the issue you've might not be as bad as you think. I have been in situations where we have dropped all procedures to push a hot fix because we were actively bleeding money, and in situations where you know there is an issue, and you let it be.
