I'm talking specifically about altering code because outside of a normal
rpm/puppet deployment.  So this would exclude configs and things puppet
normally deploys.  But if you run into a bug in some code and it needs to
get fixed, go in, fix it, contact upstream and open a bug so we all know
about it.  We've done this in the past for security reasons (git web and
the recent nagios bug comes to mind) and for general usability problems or
outages.
