I fully agree with you here Maciej,
and especially in the quoted part.
To tweak bought software is extremely rare in my business. (that being
Warehouse management/control systems)

The systems are way too complex for a customer to willingly fiddle with,
at the expense of a whole site coming to a standstill by accident.

Most of our customers claim that stop time means at least $100_000 -
$200_000 per hour in losses.
They _highly_ prefer to order changes from the vendor and get
some guarantee from us.
