I would refine that to say administrators hate change when they have to bear the brunt of adverse effects of change.
When a lot of organizations demand administrators keep a production net stable, with a staging net that bears only a faint resemblance to the production net, and a development net that is a caricature, is it any wonder the administrators despise change? I've been in some shops where the poor bastard administrators only have production to work with, and they are the ones yelled at and the quarterly reviews dinged when a change forced upon them, surprise, surprise, breaks a critical LOB process.
