Sorry about the delay. :-(

collective.namedfile uses this:

from zope.schema import Field
from interfaces import INamedFile

class NamedFile(Field):
    """A NamedFile field
    """
    implements(INamedFile)

Actually including z3c.blobfile as a dependency of
collective.namedfile will cause the installation of ZODB 3.8.
collective.namedfile is primarly used by Plone 3, so I don't know if
it's a good idea.
