I would agree that is often true - however, not all production systems 
are connected to the public Internet, and sometimes the company 
developing the system is only deploying it within a small number of 
client sites where they are monitoring very closely, for instance, 
during a beta testing period.

However, if no one else feels that this functionality is legitimate, 
then I'm quite happy to let it rest.
