If the policy were pluggable, I think that nobody would object
to follow your proposal to use the Zope3 default.

Because it would be the right way to do it and
because it seems to be the prefered solution by the community.

I would prefer a mechanism as the current CMF uses it:

   Prevent the creation of a content object only when
   it really conflicts with something.

   Or at least, prevent only ids starting with "@@" or "++"
   (as these are the prefixes really used by Zope 3, right?).
   
As mentioned in "zope-dev", I am primarily concerned with WebDAV
integration. And our WebDAV using projects are in fact CMF based.


On the other hand, if I am the only objector, do what you propose.
I am able to change it in our Zope version to fit our needs.
