Me, I hate regression testing. Everybody gets their own map. One change, one test. Done.

I started with 4010, added a few 4030 segments and maybe a 5010 segment in its proper spot then no matter what the data coming in I can feed it to this "generic" 850 map and then there is only one monster with code in it to maintain. Only when one partner does things in complete contradiction to the way most of them do it do I need to give them their own map. Yes, I am that lazy. I maintain however that fewer moving parts = fewer things to break.
