The scenario is simple.
You want admin to open one port in the firewall when the project is
started. Going through the corporate process at this point is bearable
and makes sense.
Afterwards, you want to be able to expose arbitrary services through
that port without having to go through port-opening process over and
over again.
The services are actually different aspects of the same distributed
application, say, data distribution service, management service,
heartbeating service etc. so not requiring additional process for adding
them makes sense.
The real problem here IMO is how to distinguish between "adding a
completely new application" -- which should require approval process --
and "adding a new component within an existing distributed application"
-- which should be managed by devs themselves.
