From what I remember, the priorities are all wrong.  When I used to
work at Ft. Huachuca (for MITRE Corp., then Intel Corp.) the 
Executive Software People (who are the gov. part taking care of the 310's)
wanted to install isolated sites first. Then, get on to the big
neworks.  Also, there was more to getting the new release approaved.  For
example, there were numerous modifications that had to be made to 
iDIS, etc. to make it suitable to military users.
