Then if you cannot persuade the other developers that what they are  
doing is wrong and they should change their practice then you should  
locate the person in your organisation with sufficient authority to  
require such a change. Explain the problem, why it's an issue, and  
how to resolve it. Convince them to implement a plan to fix this mess  
properly. You've seen from previous comments that it's not as  
disruptive a task as you think and the benefits will far outweigh any  
immediate pain in transition.
