Review impact of missing Data.fs.in
The branch install process doesn't copy the "Data.fs.in" file to an
instancehome/var directory. This file is the "initial" filestorage
for Zope that gets copied to "Data.fs" during installation in every
prior branch of Zope. This file is evil and must die at some point,
and most of the necessary code to set things up properly in the face
of an empty Data.fs already exists in OFS.Application.initialize.
Things seem to work fine without Data.fs.in but we should just give
it a bit of review to see what gets left out, if anything.
When we find that Data.fs.in isn't necessary, we need to remove it
from the HEAD.
XXX What is actually needed to verify that it isn't needed?
AAA The best way to do this is to write a unit test which verifies
that the default objects installed into a "new" ZODB when Zope
starts are present and working, and their content either matches
the content of what would have come from Data.fs.in or is "close
enough". The code that installs these default objects exists in
the initialize function within lib/python/OFS/Application.
