One line of code, six months of process. But it was code in the module that computed stress on the space shuttle's interconnects between the orbiter and its tanks during launch. The six months of process was the minimum and all I wanted to change was a goto, eliminating a dead code branch. I can't even imagine if I had tried to make deeper changes. Having said that, there have been times when I wished Google had a process that would keep some of their odder mistakes from happening. Most recently the android calendar client changes. No month view, really? The amount of review you mentioned could be excessive or just the minimum because the entire product was sensitive or high risk. With no context it's hard for us to judge.
