One thing u gotta remember most of the Admins who handle webservers in a network are also developers since most of the organizations will always need to cut on expenses, and as we know, most of the developers will just look into finishing work and making it work. So if something doesn't run due to httpd.conf, you will find these guys loosening server security, therefore opening holes to the infrastructure.
