[consulting] Drupal site development but with restrictions

[Jamie Holly]

I agree 10000%. And it's not just the "no custom modules" things, but 
how about contrib modules or even core that might require a patch that 
hasn't yet been committed? I find this a very common scenario.

Bottom line, explain to them that their hands are now tied. If they want 
to go that route, then tell them that they should look else where. Most 
of the time when places see the big shop prices (which would be likely 
in this case), they end up cringing and coming back.
