I just went through the same thing. Except I was smart (or so I thought) and had what I needed changed in a config file. PHB decided that it still counted as a "code" change because someone needed to log onto the box and change the config. Literally it was removing 3 characters from it. The only reason I even had it in the config was to avoid it being a code change to begin with. I argued back that in the time I would take to get through the whole process I could write a screen to do the same thing. PHB said that would be fine as from that point on its a config not a code change. So off through the whole process, where I present the change to people who don't care, or understand the change and ask for them to approve it. I get that they need awareness, but seriously couldn't a short email saying X is going to happen at time Y suffice? Im tempted to embed a Python/Ruby interpreter into my next project with a web interface to modify the code. Then I can do these minor changes without going through the 7 day process.
