Not as far as I know.  If anything, we've heard the critique loud and clear 
and are investigating how to represent the 'rich' information in the ZODB 
as a 'flat' filesystem.  What we're hoping for is that it would allow you 
to manage artifacts in the ZODB using tools you are used to, ala grep, CVS, 
etc.

So write Python Products with confidence :)
