Yes, but you were storing the *entire* Plone site as a single versioned 
object, which made it impossible to safely version individual objects in 
the Plone site.

Perhaps updateStages() should accept a "descend" flag, making it stage 
all descendants as well.  The only odd thing is that with "descend" 
turned on, it should remove items from the destination stage(s) that no 
longer exist on the source stage.

But like Casey said, this is the HEAD of unreleased software... the wild 
side. ;-)
