I use ZCVSMixin (http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/ZCVSMixin).

ZCVSMixin does the loading of objects into folderish containers
so conflict errors are not a problem. This naturally means that
you can destroy things if you're not careful. (Motto: a tool that
doesn't let you destroy things now & then.. is a weak tool.)
