Agreed. Though whether these two simple, highly reusable types should be
off by themselves in a 'Static' package is still a separate question. 
I'd say there are some benefits in making 'static folders' be the same
thing as 'non-static' folders are (after all we'll be adding
functionality to folders using adapters). So that leaves File all by
its lonesome in a Static package, in which case it seems to me 
we could just get rid of that package and put File with the rest in 
Content package.
