Hi Roy,

PluggableUserFolder works fine for me with Zope 2.7.

I'm developing a sql_authentication plugin for PluggableUserFolder and 
am happy with the results so far. It also works seamlessly with 
CookieCrumbler (Standalone). I'm not ready to release the plugin into 
the wild just yet, but I can email you my current code if you want to 
take a look.
