In general I agree. But IStandardUserFolder in IUserFolder.py wasn't a 
Zope 2 interface. It was a quite useless base class. If any custom user 
folder subclasses from that class - which I don't believe - removing 
that base class is all that has to be done to fix that product.

But if people think we should anyway give a warning first I'm fine with 
re-adding that file on the trunk.

Thanks for that hint. I'll follow up to this in a separate mail within 
the next few days.
