Well, the use cases that have been to date have done without it. :) I'm 
not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying we need to make sure we don't 
break existing use cases (plone.app.linkintegrity, plone.caching to name 
two that I know of).

Makes sense, although it means __parent__ is not self.context, which may 
be a bit unusual.
