It is true that the better way to store your customizations is in a  
filesystem skin. However, actions in the ZODB should *not* write back  
to the sile system. Granted, there are products that are made for  
that specific purpose (LocalFS etc), but allowing filesystem writes  
through the ZODB is a big security hole.
