Yes.  Whenever I get around to updating ZPatterns for Zope 2.3.x, I plan to 
switch to the new BTrees.

However, if you can't wait for that, you can always hand-edit the import 
statements in Rack.py to do the right thing.  That will only work for new 
rack objects, or at any rate for racks that haven't yet created their BTree.

Now, what *I*'d like to know is what the "bold new idea" is, since it 
sounds like it's something even newer than the 
forward-chained-buckets-plus-conflict-resolution stuff that's already been 
released.
