We are talking about this file:

http://cvs.zope.org/CMF/CMFDefault/setuphandlers.py?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain

It hardcodes policy. The correct way would be to implement these various 
setup steps as import handlers that read the policy from XML files. And 
there should also be export handlers that allow to write customized 
policies to XML files.

Most of these import steps are also mentioned in the todo list:

http://cvs.zope.org/*checkout*/CMF/CMFSetup/README.txt?rev=1.9&only_with_tag=CMF-1_5-branch

As soon as full handlers are implemented for these steps they should be 
removed from 'importVarious'. We can do that step by step.


The reason why I added this only to HEAD is that it is no bug fix. But 
on the other hand it would not break anything on the 1.5 branch.
