I just added the utility unregistration code to the migrateToCMF21
script. The only remaining item that I can think of is this one
from Yvo:

   There is a hack in PortalObjectBase.getSiteManager that fixes old
   site manager instances on the fly, but I don't want to have that code
   in the final CMF 2.1 release

That should not be a showstopper for a beta release imho.
