It's all to do with ZODB persistence. I'm not sure why the wrapper was 
ever given a _p_jar, it's probably not a good idea, but then LocalFS is 
very old but was very good at the time, so there's likely to be a good 
reason for it to be there :-S

I dunno, try contact Jonathan Farr, the product's author and see if he 
can remember. Other than that, maybe ask on zodb-dev at zope.org about any 
problems you may experience from removing it :-S

My wories aren't so much about persistence, but whether these wrappers 
will play nicely with the transation framework without a _p_jar. They 
should, but I wouldn't want to bet on it...

good luck!

Chris
