I made a branch of megrok.form to add support to blobfile / blobimage,
but without touching collective.namedfile:

http://svn.zope.org/megrok.form/branches/z3c.blobfile_support

... but it became a mess. :-(

I've also created a branch of collective.namedfile (but doesn't
commited yet) with the same additions, but I don't like the idea of
adding ZODB 3.8 as a dependency of it. There is any way to add a
"conditional dependency" in setup.py? It would be great if we can
install collective.namedfile without z3c.blobfile / ZODB 3.8 dependecy
in Plone and install *with* these dependecies on Grok / Z3.

If not, I think the better way is to commit the collective.namedfile
branch to SVN and upload it to PYPI with another name (like
collective.namedblobfile) or something like that. What do you think?
