Meanwhile, several people have used it in production. I was a little taken aback to discover that it is considered "somewhat experimental" (and it seems, a bit broken) in ZODB 3.8 (as distinct from the Plone integration package, plone.app.blob, which indeed has been experimental up until now). I think a lot of other people would be too. A lot of people would be very happy if this bug in ZODB 3.8 could be fixed, since the option of upgrading is not there (since ZODB 3.9 introduces too-incompatible changes to work with Zope 2.10) for anyone on a released, stable version of Plone.
