Wouldn't it be nice if an engineer had decision making power?
Engineer here. It's like that because that's the way it's always been. To change it would mean retooling silk-screen printing on the D-pad, and changing the wiring underneath. And they probably use this D-pad everywhere, so someone like me will have to talk to someone else like me, and right now I have phone shyness (can't just be an email, have to call a meeting). I'll also have to talk to a supplier and get them to change the wiring, and Procurement won't let me just change anything, because it gives suppliers a chance to requote a job, and they'll ask for more money. And then I'll have to talk to Production, because they'll have to retrain the workers, make sure someone doesn't stop the line because this new part doesn't look exactly like the old part. Oh, and Quality of course, need to make sure the inspectors don't start rejecting the new parts (just kidding, they never look at parts). Then there's Marketing. Since this is a customer-facing part, definitely need their input. Might have to change catalogs and brochures with new pictures.
No, they just got the good brand of gummy bears in the cafeteria, I'm going to go buy a bag of those, and then fill out these forms my new boss has been asking about. New boss, new forms, same old shit.
Remapping gpio pins doesn't require changing wiring, but it might require tracking a unique firmware revision.
