Understood. I'm using a specialized user folder product solely for this application, however. I am not actually rewriting Zope, just this custom user folder product. Ultimately I may absorb the whole thing into my own product.

From a design perspective, it doesn't seem clean or efficient to engineer around Zope's standard operating procedures. Why not change them instead?
You just created a maintenance nightmare, that's why. Rewriting the core Zope software instead of e.g. creating a filesystem product that contains your changes will make every attempted Zope upgrade a pain. jens
