ONLY if you rigidly define the CMS' job by your definition.  What if
the customer -- who owns the system, after all, and is paying you to
achieve *their* desired results -- doesn't see it your way?

There is actually a team review feature that allows one or more
designated individuals to sign off onthe proposed published work.
Although I'll say right off that the client is self-approving the
work.

Yes the system could be abused.  Just as the automobile could be
rammed into a sidewalk crowded with people, generating horrific
results.  But you don't see automobiles banned for this reason.  Yes
the consequences could be bad.  But just as its possible to find safe
drivers, there are safe editorial users.  Is it perfect?  Of course
not, but its an acceptable level of risk according to an informed
decision on the part of the site owner.

Some goofball Google-esque thing, I think, that tracks page placement
or something.  I don't know what the hell it is.  They just screamed
until I got the system to take it without them emailing me telling me
it still doesn't work.

And yes, I started the whole deal with "you don't want to do that".
They did. :-)
