Noo!

Too late I read in the ExUserFolder docs that this is a bad idea.

Plenty of wierd behaviour and recursive
acl_users/acl_users/acl_users/acl_users/acl_users.... stuff  :-(

Plenty of times I had to use the emergency user, and even then it was touch
and go.

Felt it best to start from scratch on a fresh Zope install.

I'll just have to put up with not being able to display content based on
current user at the root level (given one can't safely access lower level
acl_users info from a higher level).
