Is there any risk involved in this?  It looks ok in theory, just that  
we're at a4 of Zope 2.12, we should be getting wary of features.

plone.folder is GPL and owned by the Plone Foundation, BTreeFolder2 is  
ZPL and owned by the Zope Foundation and contributors.  This sounds  
like "quite easily" from a copy-the-code point of view, but doesn't  
take account of legal issues.  You'd need at least a PF board vote.  I  
doubt the Plone foundation is a Zope contributor, and I'm not sure if  
their agreements would even be compatible, it may grant Zope Corp some  
rights that weren't granted to the PF.
