I so completely agree here, though with one added, uh, feature.  You
should give the developers access to a loaded E4500 or the like to do
their compiles on, so that they can actually test their work.  It's a
pain to hack code for 8 hours, then have to leave it overnight to see if
it compiles.  :-)  I can't sell any companies on this idea yet though.
