Doesn't matter. The OSI model does not stipulate an OSI protocol
Plenty of things don't fit into the TCP/IP model at all. Infiniband, for starters.
A perl script which collects some basic stuff from a few servers in a cluster to get some statistics and compile a quick overview of things to keep an eye on.
A dirty hack that exists now is infinitely better than a properly developed tool that has gone through all stages of approval and quality control at some theoretical point in the future.
My shitty report.pl script was heavily frowned upon when I put it on the production servers. Not only was it an undocumented script, but there was going to be a "proper" tool for that soon. Well, the proper tool never arrived and now three years later everyone is using my script because we are all too lazy to compile a list of warnings manually.

Me and the IT admin in my previous job had this understanding, as I dealt with field hardware, and he dealt with the "normal" IT stuff.
Once a merger caused the corporate requirement of only allowing whitelisted apps to run, my laptop was simply disappeared from the requirement list. It made it easier for the both of us. I could be on the other side of the world in sudden need of running some proprietary BS software that had to be whitelisted, and nobody wanted me to have to wake someone up to whitelist stuff.
When you deal with network hardware that cost more than most PCs, and the server clusters cost more than a house, some leeway should be allowed.
