That's certainly a possibility, a way to manage the client's expectation while making one's job far easier in the bargain.

Still, it's a dereliction of duty, in a way, because what the average client is able to wrest out of a given RGB image (in all likelihood, just a straight Image > Mode > CMYK Color, with no consideration of destination space or rendering intent, and no soft-proofing) is probably not as good as what a skilled prepress operator would be able to achieve.

In essence, the client is charged for an inferior result.
