I know several fields (aerospace, chemical, petroleum) where pipefittings
are indeed designed and fabricated in-house, when used in critical systems.
I think the same is true of software engineering: There are times when
off-the-shelf is fine, and then there are cases where the acquisition cost
is not the most important factor.
