Any company can have gaps, especially subsidiaries. While I was on site at a rather large unnamed chip manufacturing company (many years ago) they lost the PDC (NT3.51 or NT4 long ago). So they promoted the BDC. It went boom and keeled over and died. They went to restore from backups..... It turned out not to be a good week for some folks. They also decided that 1 PDC and 1 BDC was not perhaps the best ratio for a resource domain of over 20,000 objects in the future.
The management did turn this into a 'learning opportunity' for the site. No one was fired (the management believed they had just paid for the learning experience of that mistake so might as well keep 'em) though I believe those responsible had wished for a quick death instead of being the 'living example' for the next two months.
