I'm probably not going to add a whole lot more than what's already been written here, but pragmatically; if the deploy tooling isn't compatible with your app, and that tooling needs to support other apps as well, why not make changes at your end? It's a simple task right? Is it somehow enormously complex at your end? What you should do, is realise you are no longer alone. You're not a small team at the fore-front anymore, you're part of a whole company of teams now and like it or not, these teams, whatever divisions they fall under and the company as a whole have deadlines and budgets. Someone looked at your request and plotted time. Does that not work? Find another solution. Don't complain about how its a small feature and you could fix it yourself easily, it isn't and you won't. Instead of arguing, being shocked and complaining about how insane it is, take a step back, talk to these people and try to understand how and why this company works the way it does. If after that it still doesn't work for you, you can always leave, but I'd honestly suggest you try to find a few people who can guide you around a bit instead of acting like the mistreated outsider, the only one who suffers there is you.
