Why are people using staging sites for this, instead of the workflow/publish/moderation queue abilities built into Drupal?
I've worked in environments where it was a strict requirement. Relatively few people had access to the production servers, but we made changes on dev, tested the migration path when moving them to test-environment and then IT would promote things to pre-prod and (if successful) to production environment. That was a telecommunications company so it's understandable to see where they got that mentality, but they applied that stringent process to a non-critical software project I was working on. Frustrating as heck. Plus, the internal Drupal workflow only applies to nodes, not other configuration stuff. And i think the scope of this conversation includes "other configuration stuff" right?
