No way. QoQ is an abomination. Why wouldn't I want them to use a
real database?

Those are CF 5 issues, not CF MX (or RedSky).

What is wrong with them trying it? Worst case they corrupt their
own data. They are entitled to corrupt their own data, aren't they?

Running multiple instances should allow you to do so. One
instance for yourself, one for each customer that needs it and
one for the rest all together in sandboxes. But the sandboxes
only disallow the basics like file system access outside their
own directory and the use of COM objects, not cfquery.
I still don't see why you would want to disallow people from
doing such basic things as cfquery. What is the point of that?
