Sounds more like sweeping the rubbish under the carpet. A problem ignored will fester and grow into a monster that bite you in the future (assuming you are still supporting that CMS, haha).

The onus is on the CM implemention team to recognize those very early in the project and to educate the users accordingly, so that everybody can stop wasting time on such low value-added stuff and focus on the more important deliverables.
