Absolutely agree. 

In my world, what I see that matches this setup are small areas with
not enough critical mass for a full time sysadmin, or at least that's
the belief. Or they haven't figured out a way for their cost center to
get part time sysadmin help. The programmers have what amounts to a
full time job with delivery dates, etc., for the code and related
artifacts (test procedures, design docs, integration plans, etc.). The
sysadmin work is on a time available basis, or a "something's broke
that needs to be fixed" basis.
