There is. They are called "testing machines".
I interviewed at a firm that traded on a financial market in Chicago
many years ago, and on every traders desk there were 3 machines. Two
production machines running identical software more or less in
parallel, and a third "testing" machine that the did the same stuff,
only with new versions of the software.
Software spent 6 months in that "testing" environment before being
rolled live.
While I think LVM is a really neat hammer, not everthing is a nail.
