Sounds good to me *if* someone works on the necessary changes before the 
beta release. I consider the current state of your change as 'work in 
progress'.

AFAICS TypeInformation.getIcon is only used by DynamicType.getIcon - at 
least in CMF. And by default DynamicType.getIcon returns the complete 
URL. I think code using getIcon(relative_to_portal=1) can be changed and 
'relative_to_portal' can be deprecated. So it doesn't hurt if extracting 
the relative URL becomes more expensive.

Please note that I started using upgradeSteps for CMFDefault. 
.to22.upgrade_type_properties would be a good place for the migration code.

And the default profiles need to be updated as well.
