Historically, every large I/T organization has gone through the growing
pain involving the same subject. This project is obviously headed in
that direction. So, rather then reinventing the wheel, why don't we
learn from others that have already gone there (when the time is right)
and at least plot a path that allows one to get there.

That would likely involve some sort of bug tracking system, a change
control system, version control system (that is actually used for that
purpose), etc.
