yup; proactively advise them about what can, and probably will happen, and
offer to make it part of your service to prevent it for them. I intend to
make it part of our support packages that if we provided WordPress for them,
we'll manage updates. more work. more money. I think that's how I make my
living though, so working in exchange for money seems fair . . .
