Quick question before I reinvent.
Is there some established way of finding products which have no instances in zodb, and can be safely removed? No there isn't. You may have to invest some time writing a script that visits all objects to find out what products they belong to. It may not be worth the effort.

Unfortunately it has "not been worth the effort" for a number of years, but now it has become unavoidable. Walking the tree it is then.
You could probably work directly with the pickles way faster than activating every object in a large site: look at the 'fsdump' script for clues.
You could also write a stand-alone python routine to access the zodb (.fs file) directly (should be faster than running a script through a running zope instance and maybe easier than working with pickles). Jonathan
