But since organizations cannot force #2 to happen, they must instead opt
for #1 (at least for the time being).

Operant Conditioning 101: behavior is controlled by its consequences,
but most IT depts are skilled at dodging those consequences (which
reinforces THAT behavior), so nothing changes/improves. The problem
that management has is determining whether any given admin "crime" is
worthy of the death sentence, since a firing impacts morale and often
requires a new (expensive) hire. I see two places where improvement
could be made: 1)upgrade the multitude of admins (not fast or easy or
cheap), or 2)upgrade the product's ability to keep ITSELF patched (which
is Microsoft's baby). There seems to be a certain efficiency in #2.
