[Zope-CMF] purging of actions in CMF 1.6

[Florent Guillaume]

It seems that an extension profile can't add actions to an action  
provide in CMF 1.6. Or, rather, if you do it all previous actions are  
erased.

The actions exportimport code has:

     def _initProviders(self, node):
         ...
             # delete any actions that are auto-created
             provider = getToolByName(self.context, provider_id)
             num_actions = len(provider.listActions())
             if num_actions:
                 provider.deleteActions(range(0,num_actions))

What is this for? It's harmful.


Also, it seems actions inside action providers aren't purged correctly.

Can someone shed light on what the code tries to do? Can I use  
"newstyle" action profiles in CMF 1.6?
