I have a report that Five 1.2 breaks something else in this customer's
application, and didn't have time to track that down further.  I may
look into that today.

I can live with that on the trunk, but am hopeful that we can make a
fairly recent GenericSetup version available to "older" sites which need
its improved dump / reload facilities to ease migration (e.g., install
GenericSetup 1.1, dump content, upgrade the rest of the site, reload
content).
