We have used it to produce a large "backup" before, but consistently ran into unicode encode/decode errors. The only way I could get it to export was to do the nasty sitecustomize.py hack and setting the default encoding to UTF-8.

Interesting. I imagine that this is fixible in a somewhat straightforward way, although it is probably tied up with the general encoding mess in Z2.

Yes, that's likely where the problem comes from. IMHO there is no reason to remove/deprecate it, but on the other hand it should not be advertised as a really user-friendly and easy way of exporting. It's still somewhat of a second class citizen when it comes to exporters. It might be in need of some warning stickers on the package ;)
