Extreme measures like separate disconnected networks are appropriate for some small number of people and places. For the rest of the world, that and other expensive, time consuming measures have to be balanced against productive uses of that money and time. The company where I work probably wouldn't have survived without very low-budget computer services that did not interfere with our developers' ability to make rapid changes.
