you could derive it from 'Folder' (or Object Manager). But when you

It that a problem? It might become one once you get millions of objects...
Usually, I would expect that most objects come from you leaves and
not from the classification structure...

That will be true, but I was wondering where to draw the line, for
example with perfomance issues. All the objects will be in a ZCatalog,
to allow searching for example. But one 'ObjectManager' step less in
the choice what to do with the products results in much less objects in
the catalog. The estimation about the amount of objects, with only the
leave nodes as 'SimpleItem' objects will be 30.000. I never had so many
objects in a ZODB, that's why I'm asking this, but as your answer
suggests it's still the preferred way.<br>

Thanks for the comments!<br>
