So why are these people not involved from the first place? Seems like a huge management/executive failure that the right people who needs to check off the design weren't involved until after developers implemented the feature.

You seem to blame the person who is trying to save the company from security issues, rather than placing the blame on your boss that made you do work that would never gotten approved in the first place if they just checked with the right person first?

Because they don't respond to their emails until months after they were nominally brought into the loop. They sit back jerking their dicks all day, voicing no complaints and giving no feedback until the thing is actually done.

Yes, management was ultimately at fault. They're at fault for not tard wrangling the security guys into doing their jobs up front. They're also at fault for not tard wrangling the security guys when they object to an inherently modifiable application being modified.

The bikeshedding is coming from in the room. The point is that the feature didn't cause any regression in capability. And who tf wants a plugin system with only support for first party plugins?
