Well. First I declared all existing oldstyle factories broken because 
they send the events at the wrong moment. And second, I ripped out 
_finishConstruction. I hope that's acceptable for a new feature release, 
but nothing I would introduce on a maintenance branch.

See http://svn.zope.org/?view=rev&rev=82763 and 
http://svn.zope.org/?view=rev&rev=85506 for details.

If you want to backport this to CMF 2.1, I'd try to register the new 
handler for an interface that's only used by your new content classes. 
If you don't touch the types tool, you also have to make sure that your 
new content is never created by the types tool.

Let's first see how we decide on Robert's proposal.
