I completely agree.  I just do not agree that ignoring the problem
will in fact solve it.

Our job here isn't to figure out business strategy or how to pay for
the projects needed; it's to review architectural changes to a system.
Where the system is lacking in architecture, we're obligated to
complain about it.

If we don't, then we have no function.  If "do what everybody else
does without regard to overall architecture" is indeed the intended
strategy, then let's just not bother with the fiction of architectural
review.  It's not as though this is the only thing on my plate, or
even the thing most important to my management chain.
