This is already done on the zodb-blobs-branch. I would be happy to create a mountpoint-branch that does not externally link the ZODB with blob support, then merge the changes in to the Zope 2 HEAD (and 2.9 branch if one exists).

Ah, I had forgotten about that. It would be great to merge the mountpoint work into the head. There isn't a 2.9 branch afaik.
FYI, Zope trunk (in SVN) is current 2.9 development. [Chris]
OK, I will do so.
In that case, I'm willing to share <wink> this set of probably-related open Collector issues: ZODBMountPoint should not monkey-patch ZODB http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1525 Clean up mounts, TemporaryFolder http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1800 ZODB: Mounting broken for non default transaction manager http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1875
