Thomas Binder take off those rose colored glasses yet?
Donnie Ewers anyone who thinks educating users instead of limiting access this has know clue how to manage a IT department.
organizing and having a structure that is clean for SharePoint is extremely important and this is a huge deal regardless of educating users or not.
its the equivalent to allowing anyone make distribution groups and when you grow in size, you have hundreds of useless teams groups made for 1,2,3 users that end up being used for a few weeks, days, or not touched for years
