I completely agree with this except I think of it more as a problem of release engineering rather than system administration.
The trouble is, the sysadmin's job is to deploy things. The developers job is to write code. Often release engineering isn't thought of at all or if it is it's given to the last qualified or least suspecting folks without any requirement from operations.
Developers aren't taught about release engineering or deployment in school at all. In fact, it seems to me most university curricula do everything possible to hide all that from students.
Compounding that is the developers desire to get new code out conflicting with the sysadmins requirement to keep things stable in the face of limited QA automation. This leads to the common conflict between dev and ops.
This is to me a large part of what has led to the DevOps movement. This gives the developers information about the deployment and perhaps even access to it or a version of it and/or a voice in deciding how things are deployed.
Hopefully we can standardize things widely enough that universities can teach this without fear of focusing on useless technologies that will be discarded in 3-5 years.
