I guess they will anyway need a new setSite() call to work correctly in 
CMF 2.1. Setting up the skin explicitly is just one extra line of code.

I'm in the process of reverting the tools-as-utilities changes for the 
skins tool because it is not ready for that change. That means the old 
code would still work in CMF 2.1. But I prefer the explicit way and as 
soon as the skins tool becomes an utility the implicit setup in the 
__of__ method no longer works. So better now than changing your scripts 
again for CMF 2.2.
