The problem is when the distance between the team writing the package manager and random team trying to work on some feature is high. That entire team might not be aware of the team that wants them to deploy gradually and in a specific way. To them, maybe even it's a lot of noise and useless complaining and they don't see it as at all connected to getting their feature done. A common large company problem. People who should be talking are not. New hires are also hired into the "local" subculture of their team and something very, very important elsewhere in the company is not on their radar.
