DevOps is a good cause, but what about OpsOps?

A few recent blog posts have attempted to explain the Devops bloody revolution movement. I'm overdue to post one of my own. Lest we get carried away, let's not just focus on the Developer Systems Administrator axis. As Graham expounded on Friday night (and I paraphrase, for the Build Doctor had prescribed himself ale):

We need Ops-Ops! There's so many teams where the admins hate the DBA's, and the Networks teams hate the admins. And the DBAs aren't fond of anyone. There's enough trouble getting those guys to work together.

He's got a point. Those damn siloes are everywhere.
