I'm not sure the shake ups really affect the bureaucracy that much. The wheels keep on turning or grinding. I think real bureaucratic reform would require the same people be minding the system, assuming that any professional politician is really interested in reform.
Even when there's change at the top with a new administration and new department heads, I don't know how much that really affects the day to day experience of people working in the agency. And I think it probably takes some time for the people who do change to really know how the system is functioning beneath them.
Remember when Al Gore was going to reinvent government? How weird to be wistful about Al Gore.
