So what you're saying is that policy is impeding you from doing your
job. Policy isn't supposed to get in the way, it's supposed to make
sure everything's done right without putting up unnecessary
roadblocks.
At the very least, you need to test it somehow to prove this theory.
If you can document that the current configuration is in fact impeding
your work, you'll have a lot more chance of making the change happen.
Can you get a system that's nearly identical to yours, but without AV,
to test on?
