Okay, can you clarify your point then?

As a married guy, we're all in that same boat together.

Sounds like you might want to address it on a client-by-client basis.
In larger clients and in my experience, we've utilized rather large CM
systems to handle everything, including a workflow process that often
gets revisisted quite a bit.

In smaller ones, with homegrown solutions, we typically allow them the
opportunity, but they're paying for the technology.  It's a bit more
customizable--at least right now--and has to do with the specific needs
of the client.

I'd find this to be a great asset, from my limited exposure to it thus
far, to some of the lower-budget, less-technology savvy clients.
Regardless of which, as long as I can begin to remove myself and my team
from the process of the content, I'm happy as a clam.

Plus, if I have to repair one more typo...
