This is the government we're talking about... Whoever wrote this won't get sacked for gross negligence, which is what this is, as much as say, operating machinery without a safety cover, and is probably paid waaaay more than anyone with comparable "skills" in the private sector.

Actually, speaking as a Brit working in IT who has supplied various public sector organisations in the past, I think it's rather more likely that this would have been written by an outside agency to contract. And I wouldn't expect they were paid waaaay more from that experience either.
