changes made in custom folder are changes to files that come with 
product distribution.

if you add the changes to the filesystem skins and you ever want to 
update a product all changes will be lost - except you port the changes 
made to zope.org back to the original products.

Deleting the custom folder or any (atm not existing) other TTW defined 
folders under portal_skins is against CMF philosophy of customization.

this is a freudian lapsus - no ?


Possible solution: collect all files under 'custom' into a new 
CustomSkin product or add them to the NZO skin.

Anyway, access to the skins will then need a signed NDA agreement, maybe 
ssh access and some knowledge with svn.
